Brussels seems to be unhappy about the trees on the peaty ground, to put it simply, and under the new programme, officials want to see clear markers or whatever of how this will be resolved. It is my understanding based on what I am from Brussels today. Coillte has a plan of what it will do. Will that cause a problem if Coillte takes 30,000 ha of trees out and rewets the land, it will be 30,000 ha down on taking on carbon. Does that cause a problem?
