Environment Minister Eamon Ryan has been accused of destabilising the Government in pushing ahead with proposals to ban the sale of turf.

A meeting between the Green Party leader and members of Fine Gael was described as extremely heated at times, as TDs and senators hit out at the plans, with a number stating they would not support it.
