From everything we have heard today, an agreement with landowners that will stand the test of time is what is really being looked at here. That point has been made by many committee members and by the stakeholders the committee met earlier. With Covid restrictions, we have to finish the meeting very quickly. If there are issues arising, we may need to reopen the discussion. I ask one of the representatives to comment on the stance of Bord na Móna with regard to ensuring an agreement with landowners is put in place.
