Barry Cowen says he's disappointed and frustrated at the slow pace of the process.
The delay in delivering a Just Transition in the midlands is being raised with the Taoiseach next month.
Fianna Fáil's Barry Cowen says he's disappointed and frustrated at the slow pace of the process to replace jobs lost in peat harvesting.
He says just €166,000 has been drawn down from the Just Transition Fund to date.
The Laois-Offaly TD has scheduled a meeting with Micheál Martin for July 9th, with other local Oireachtas members invited to join.
Deputy Cowen says a range of issues will be impressed upon the Taoiseach:
