Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald has hit out at the Taoiseach and accused the Government of punishing people who burn turf to heat their homes.
She said that the Government has done nothing to reduce the cost of home heating oil.
Green Party leader Eamon Ryan is meeting Government backbench TDs on Tuesday as Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael rural TDs are opposed to the proposed ban on the commercial sale of turf.
