Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation

============================================================

Richard O'Donoghue (IND), Limerick County

I raised this issue about peat last week and about straw being put back into the ground by farmers.
They were relying on peat for bedding and now, because of the legislation the Government is trying to introduce to require farmers to put the straw back into the ground, additional pressure will be put on them. The last two speakers are 100% correct. This all goes back to the fact that the Government does not have a clue what it is doing.
