Sinn Féin urges Government to reverse proposed ban on sale of turf

SF agriculture spokesman Matt Carthy says the ban is the wrong move at the wrong time and will penalise the wrong people

Sinn Féin has called on the Government to reverse a proposed ban on the sale of turf, claiming it is the wrong move at the wrong time.

Sinn Féin spokesperson on agriculture Matt Carthy has described the proposal as "punitive" in the midst of a cost of living crisis that further punishes people with no support to help them with a fair transition.
