Horticultural peat was not on the agenda for today. We discussed it in previous meetings but seen as it has been brought up, I want to say we are all supportive of the horticultural sector. Nobody wants to be importing peat from Lithuania. The reason it is not being harvested is because of a court case in 2019 that put an end to it and a working group has been set up by the Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Noonan, to resolve the issue in short order. I understand that group will report back at the end of April or thereabouts. It is important to put that on the record.
