That is why we have to get the activity on the heating and transport area rather than the productive side, such as agriculture. Yesterday, Bord na Móna appeared before the committee and it had some exciting new opportunities in addition to its decarbonisation programme. Bord na Móna has a remit to try to stabilise the economy in which it is based and to create employment. It has some good ideas and it would be preferable that Bord na Móna would get support to manage the carbon sequestration and planting of certain species.
