Mr. Niall ? Brolch?in:

I want to make what I think is quite an important point. This discussion is on sequestration, and in terms of farmed peatland, we are talking about roughly 300,000 ha, whereas the total amount of peatland in the country is about 1.5 million ha. It is a small proportion of it, and the biggest area of peatland is cutover peatland, which is peatland used for burning turf. Natural peatland is about 300,000 ha and afforested peatland is about 300,000 ha. There is roughly only 300,000 ha out of 1.5 million ha within farmed peat, according to the national peatlands strategy. I would urge people to look at the national peatlands strategy if they need to get those figures affirmed.
