Mr. Vincent Roddy:

To add to the point made, Teagasc is undertaking scientific research around this issue. Early indications are suggesting exactly what Mr. Condon has outlined and that methane will create a bigger problem than the CO2 emissions.

When we look at this, a lot of the science has been international science that has not been based in Ireland. We are not necessarily looking at drained peatlands; we are looking at cutaway peatlands.
