Mr. Tom Donnellan:

When we stood back and considered what Bord na Móna can do, which uses our landbank and skill set, is in line with Government policy and commercially viable, we came up with projects such as aquaculture, which provides food using a low carbon intake, a herbal product, renewable energy and recycling. The retrofit is something we could do if we want to keep people busy but, as a semi-state company, we do not think it fits with our brief. Private industry is doing that and we have to be selective about what we do. We have come to the conclusion that the areas that will get us 100% out of peat over the next ten years are the ones we have identified. That is open to debate.
