I am trying to get a semblance of understanding as to the merits of this deal vis-à-vis the stated objectives of the working group report. To return to the 2,000 tonnes or so of peat that is sitting in a mound, will Bord na Móna remove that peat from the bog prior to ICL taking control or will the company thereafter take care of the extraction?
