August cutting of roadside hedges likely to be allowed

An Taisce, which works to preserve and protect Ireland’s natural and built heritage, has thanked Fianna Fáil senators for tabling the amendment to the original Heritage Bill proposal that blanket hedge-cutting be allowed in August, by Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs Minister Heather Humphreys.
The restriction to roadside hedges means that about 80% of hedges will not be subject to cutting in August, according to An Taisce.
