Access to bog fuel for households

Summary

Blaney asked what was being done to make bog fuel accessible to domestic consumers, noting the lack of roads into bogs; the Chair treated it as a separate question.

What is being done at the moment by the Minister and his Department, in conjunction with other Departments, not necessarily to reduce our energy requirements but to try to meet them? What is being done about the bogs? Is anything being done for the ordinary domestic consumer who could and would provide his own fuel from our bogs except that there are no roads into them? It is a significant factor.

It is remotely related but it is a separate question.

It is the remoteness of the bogs that is in question.
