I was listening to this from my office and when I heard about the 20% cap on Bord na Mona I decided to come down. How did it come about? Very few farms are comprised of 100% peatland but there are farms where it comprises far more than 20% of the holding. These farmers might have to rewet all of the peatland regardless of what proportion of the holding it comprises. Is this correct?
