That is according to John Neenan, Chairperson of Growing Media Ireland, which represents the majority of horticultural peat and growing media producers in Ireland.
"When we were last in front of the committee, we warned that if action was not taken, Ireland would be reliant on imported peat of inferior quality, uncertain supply and negative environmental consequences. This has now been realised - horticultural growers now depend on imported peat," Mr Neenan will say at the committee.
Mr Neenan will say importing peat has a huge environmental impact, resulting in higher emissions than harvesting at home. She is calling for the Government to introduce a licensing system to allow the harvesting of enough peat to supply their growers' immediate needs.
