Mr. Vincent Roddy:

Our reading would be what we have seen in here. Perhaps Mr. Condon wants to come in on that. Our reading is that the 20% will cause major problems for us because if that is the 20%, then the 80% will have to be delivered from private land. It goes back to the point we made earlier about the 80%. This is about property rights as well. That is our read on that. Perhaps Mr. Condon wants to think about that and come in on it.

We were asked when we became aware of it. I think it was around early September. It has been in the pipeline a while when you look at everything else and at what is happening regarding crossland use and the GAEC, 2. A project was proposed by University of Galway around restoration of peatlands. That specifically mentioned the removal of CAP payment from people who do not rewet lands. This went out to Brussels at the time and would have been highlighted in some sectors. I tried to find it on my phone. We can share it with the members when we find it. While it came as a surprise in some respects, there has been development on this over the last two or three years, about which there is no doubt.

On whether we see a problem with this, in that it is down the road, the Deputy is right. Farmers are going to look at this and see that it is not going to affect them now, and that is a concern. It is a concern to try to motivate farmers and to recognise the real threat that there is. Against that, restoration is not something that happens by clicking your fingers. There is a lead-in time for that, so the fact that targets have been set is a clear problem. It is not just about 2030 and 2050. In order to deliver targets in 2030 and 2050, we are going to have to start implementing actions in a year or two years' time. Farmers are going to see that. That is the point we need to get out there. Perhaps Mr. Condon wants to say something.
