Mr. Brian Carroll:

The intent of Government policy is that it is for the region. The supports I outlined in my opening statement - the €6 million to the just transition fund, the €5 million to the National Parks and Wildlife Service for bog remediation and the €20 million to deliver the new retrofit model - are very much aimed at the region. The case of Bord na Móna is the main instance of it within the region.

The Deputy asked about the PSO. That is additional money. We are engaging with the European Commission to explore the possibility of having a support scheme funded through the PSO for enhanced bog rehabilitation. That would be additional money to what was provided for in the budget. It would be money coming from the PSO to remediate bogs.
