Michael Healy-Rae, who’s Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture with responsibility for forestry, says trees should be planted on peatlands. Sinn Féin’s spokesperson for climate, the environment and energy Pa Daly says such proposals are ill-conceived and irresponsible.
At the start of the interview, Minister of State Healy-Rae paid tribute to Joe Quinn, who died in a farm accident in Tahilla this week. Deputy Daly also offered his condolences to Mr Quinn’s family.
