Horticultural growers protest over damage caused by peat restrictions

IFA says sector will be wiped out

Growers will take their concerns over peat harvesting restrictions to the Dail. File Picture. 

Horticultural growers will hold a protest outside the Convention Centre in Dublin today to highlight the challenges around the harvesting of horticultural peat and the central role it plays in the sector.

Growers will build a 50sqm display with their produce outside where the Dáil is sitting.
