Mr. Gerry Ryan:

Willow grows naturally on peatland in Ireland. It is a natural indigenous plant in that sense. Willow grows naturally on many of our cutaway peatlands where we are not actively involved or where we have restoration projects, but it grows in a scattered way, as mentioned earlier. It does not grow in such a fashion that it could be harvested economically, but it is a natural plant and grows naturally on the bogs.
