Midlands Correspondent Smaller scale turf-cutting contractors may continue in operation despite Ireland's move towards decarbonisation, Just Transition Commissioner Kieran Mulvey said today. Bord na Móna has announced it is ending all peat harvesting and Mr Mulvey said that will reduce carbon emissions by nearly 95%. He accepted that Bord na Móna had been "forced" to exit peat earlier than originally planned because of court rulings, planning law and public policy. Speaking to Offaly County Council, he said: "I still hold the view that turf harvesting can still take place. No policy decision has been made regarding that and there are thresholds under which that can be done that doesn't attract difficulties."
