Peat is being supplied to some of those in the industry by Bord na Móna, but those involved in the sector have said that the company has informed them that supplies could run out as early as next March.In Kilfinane, Co Limerick, Young Nurseries is a wholesale business supplying a wide range of Irish grown plants and herbs.Nuala Young said that the company currently employs up to 24 people.
Her husband Joe Young said peat is the base material that most businesses in the Irish horticultural sector relies on. "It’s like asking the dairy sector to continue to produce cheese and butter without any milk", Mr. Young added. Larry Doran, of Doran Nurseries in Timahoe, Co Kildare said "thousands of jobs are at risk due to the shortage of peat. The Irish horticultural community has been thrown into sudden crisis due to Bord na Móna not being able to supply peat for the growing season".
Horticultural peat is the only possible growing medium?
Eh this industry was shut down due to serious environmental breaches. When was the last time you did an article on biodiversity collapse? Head in the sand stuff by RTE

For peats sake!
Livelyhoods do not matter to the Greens. They've had their best year ever. No flights, no one could drive for three months and 1million a day spent on walkways and cycle lanes. €365 million each year for 5 years. Yet we cant get €200 mill to pay our pension when it falls due
And Geoengineering
Find it amazing how rte can report on this, and a total media black out in a certain rally, where videos on them threatening people and boys in blue. Oh well, proves my point on msm
Leaf mould, compost from green bin waste - this was known well in advance of it happening.
Thanks to the greens and the traitors FF&FG for yet more job losses. Not enough to close two powerstations with hundreds of job losses and indirect job losses, but now more businesses face problems. Killing rural Ireland one week at a time. Government traitors
Erm... Peat compost should have been banned decades ago. I stopped using it in the early 1990s once I became aware of how devastating it is to the pest bogs.
Surely they should be using peat free compost at this stage. Is there no peat free compost in Ireland?
I’m sure IrelandsDemand would have some suggestions on how to save those jobs
