Mr. Mark Carlin:

I understand the question. I am building up to that but wanted to clarify that the 30,000 ha is not a net loss. We are actively working on a restoration project at present in Derryclare, County Galway. We went in with a plan but as we worked through this, our plan changed because we had to work with the site. Part of that site we thought could be re-wet now cannot. Other parts we thought could not re-wet, can be. We are feeling our way through this. We are saying 30,000 ha of that peatland forest is an emission risk and we need to deal with it. We will deal with it through re-wetting and rewilding. We will have to deal with that on a site-by-site basis.

The Deputy is correct there will be an element of forestry loss.
