A ban on the sale of turf has now been paused pending a review, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has told a meeting of his party.
It comes after Environment Minister Eamon Ryan said the sale of turf would be prohibited from September when new solid fuel regulations come into force, a move which had caused uproar among some members of both Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.
