There is the incentive piece as well, as Deputy Bruton mentioned, to bring farmers into the scheme. We heard that there is a false narrative around rewetting that it is about flooding land but it is not. It may reduce the grazing season somewhat but we heard that agriculture can still continue on the land. That is the message that has not gone out. It is not about flooding farmland; it is about raising the water table and continuing some agricultural practices on the land. If that message gets out it could give some reassurance to the sector.
