Horticultural Peat Supply and Willow Scheme: Bord na Móna
Mr. Ger Breen:
We are in a period of change at the moment. There is other peat being produced by private producers in Ireland. That will supply a volume to meet that demand. We have another professional product, sod moss, that was harvested a couple of years ago as well. There is probably a volume there of approximately 20,000 cubes, which could help to meet a significant portion of the 2022 season.
