That is interesting. What we have learned is that Bord na Móna has entered into an agreement with what I believe is an Israeli-owned company based primarily in the UK – ICL – and has given it exclusive access to the only peat that we have a figure for, that being the 2,000 tonnes of high-grade horticultural peat, before engaging with the independent expert that the working group, commissioned by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, indicated would assess all of this. Mr. Breen mentioned the company's attributes and track record. Perhaps he might indicate what interactions there were with other players before entering into this contract.
