Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Horticultural Peat Supply and Willow Scheme: Bord na Móna

Dr. John MacNamara:

As I said, we have already engaged and we will continue to engage with growers. It is important to realise that the initial scheme would have been underpinned, not necessarily by Bord na Móna but by the Department. We went in there to provide an offtake long-term arrangement to give confidence to growers that there would be somebody there in relation to the final purchase of the material but, as I said, we will continue to engage on a one-to-one basis.
