Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Horticultural Peat Supply and Willow Scheme: Bord na Móna
Ms Sonya Mallon:
I will answer that question and perhaps Mr. Breen will contribute as required. My understanding is Bord na Móna does not hold any individual boglands of less than 30 ha. No screening exercises have been carried out to date.
It is also relevant that we hold integrated pollution control, IPC, licences across the majority of the land bank held by Bord na Móna. Those licences are required for landholdings above 50 ha. No screening exercises have been undertaken because we do not have isolated boglands of less than 30 ha.
