Mr. Fergus Moore:

At a landscape level, the Department is investing in a re-peat project, which is a multimillion euro investment project to analyse how we manage our forests on peatlands. The project has started, is based in Limerick, will give us a lot of science and information on how forests on peatlands are performing, and look at the various management options that one should consider. We are looking at science informing our future policy. It will be an instrumental project. Multiple partners are involved in it and it will take place over the next five years. It will provide good information on how forests perform on peatlands and inform the associated policy options.
