I was thinking more in terms of any vegetation that would be useful for carbon sequestration and perhaps not a cash crop. I recognise that Bord na Móna will no longer harvest peat. I am sure that much of the company's land will never generate any income or activity in the future but there is a potential that some vegetation will grow, which will have some carbon capture over and above what is normally done.
