We will not get an answer to that question. I have a question for the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. The Department seemed to be at great pains in its opening statement to say that it has no role in the regulation of peat extraction or planning. They said that is for the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. They then said that IPC licences fall under the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. Is there a problem in the fact that there are three different Departments working on this from different angles? Eventually, the sector will lose out from the collective failure of the Departments to come together for the benefit of the industry and the environment.
