Mr. Lucas stated some bogs are managed under the Living Bog programme. During Heritage Week in County Offaly, I visited a number of bogs in the programme. Six of the 12 bogs are in the county. It was a fascinating and informative afternoon. I do not know whether the committee has the time to visit, given all the work we have to do, but it would be interesting to visit some of the bogs. Mr. Lucas indicated he would like to go into a little more detail about the type of work the Department is doing to manage the bogs. I would be delighted to hear from him.
