Mr. Gabriel D'Arcy:

My colleague Mr. John Reilly will address some of the points made. First, as Senator Landy has made a number of assertions and is very diligent in terms of getting to the truth, I would like to inform him that there is no strategic alliance between Bord na Móna and anybody else. Bord na Móna, as it is required to do, has launched and is working through a process in relation to specific peatlands and boglands and has invited parties who have land interstitial to or adjoining that land - such lands may have similar characteristics and may be isolated or adjoining our lands - to join that process.
