Hold on. I am aware of what has happened in the last two years because I watch it.

The negotiations in the past six months are what we are on about. Where do the witnesses stand on peat depth? If we start going down to 30 cm and watching every place where there is a hen harrier and watching all the things witnesses have mentioned, people will have to head for the Cathaoirleach’s country in the Golden Vale to look for land because, bejaysus, we will soon have no land. It will not be up to standard. That is a huge problem.
