Former Minister for Agriculture Barry Cowen has called for ESB money to be put towards just transition funding in the midlands.
Cowen said he is urging Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications Eamon Ryan to use €5 million from the ESB for local groups, projects and organisations in the area in the form of just transition grants, to allow them move away from reliance on peat harvesting.
