As I informed the Deputy in reply to his question on the 18th May, I have endeavoured to ensure representation on the Peatlands Council for domestic peat cutters through the participation of the Irish Farmers Association, The Turf Cutters and Contractors Association and Irish Rural Link. The contribution of turf-cutters will play an important role in the work of the Council and it is open to individuals to input to the deliberations of the Council through the organisations mentioned above or through direct contact with the Council. The Council may be contacted at the following address: The Secretary, Peatlands Council, 7 Ely Place, Dublin 2, by e-mail at peatlandscouncil@environ.ie or by phone at 01 8883207.
