Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

3:00 pm

Mr. John Reilly:

I remind members in circumstances in which people sometimes think Bord na Móna is responsible for the entire peatland area of the country that our total landholding is only, albeit I do not say it lightly, 80,000 ha. Even if we were, in time, to put 50% of that into something commercial from a sequestration point of view, it would still be relatively small in the context of the contribution of the State to the overall balance of land use.
