Ferris To Raise Need To Resolve Turf Cutting Impasse |
|
The Sinn Féin spokesperson on Rural Affairs Martin Ferris TD has tabled a Dáil motion to debate the ongoing impasse regarding turf cutting.
Deputy Ferris has said that there is an urgent need to resolve the issue given the current ban being imposed and the intention of turf cutters to continue to assert their traditional rights to cut turf on the affected bogs.
Deputy Ferris said:"The government needs to intervene directly given its commitment earlier in the year to implement a compromise. The EU authorities also need to be engaged given that the situation has come about as a consequence of an EU Directive. To that end Sinn Féin will be raising the issue in the Parliament through our MEP Martina Anderson.
