Bord na Móna is a commercial State body under the aegis of the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, established under the Turf Development Act 1998. Bord na Móna is a body corporate and a separate legal entity to the Department.

The strategic direction of Bord na Móna is primarily, therefore, a matter for its Board. Bord na Móna has recently submitted its strategic plan to my Department as required by the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies 2016 and it is currently under consideration.
