On the Rochfortbridge concept, as mining of another product is taking place , the proposal is that the peat that is being dug through would be made available to the horticulture sector. The witness has mentioned that it would only be used for domestic purposes. I have put questions to the Minister of State because she has cited the export of peat. I have put on the record that I would have no difficulty with a ban on the export of peat being implemented. She has told me that EU law would prevent her from imposing such a ban. The witness mentioned engagement with some legal experts as part of the report. Did any of those experts suggest any difficulty with being able to put a limitation on this peat for domestic purposes?
