No, I am just trying to get a sense of that. I see the report scope, as mentioned in the presentation, was:
To independently undertake an assessment on the levels and sustainability of current peat stocks across all peat suppliers in Ireland. This assessment is to include available peat stocks, their level of suitability for different horticultural uses, to determine whether or not hobby or other peat can be identified on various peat bogs for horticultural growers, and to obtain locations of additional brown-field peat sites which may be suitable for Irish horticultural growers.
I do not see broader terms of reference in the report. How much more direction was given by the Department beyond the report's scope?
