Mr. Kieran Dunne:

I certainly can. It is not my view that Bord na Móna is not moving any peat. That statement came from Bord na Móna at an IFA meeting. The only peat Bord na Móna has at the moment is for briquettes. It is fuel peat, not horticultural-grade peat. I know this from walking the bogs and from the officials in Bord na Móna. Horticultural peat can be stockpiled for a maximum of 18 months or it is not usable. Ms Kavanagh might like to come in on this, but that is what I know from being on the ground. I have hundreds of acres of Bord na Móna bog pretty close to me with same stockpiles but I could not use it. It is purely fuel peat and is not suitable for horticulture.
