Mr. Liam Hanrahan:

This is one of reasons we have to be careful about the EU restoration plan and its implementation. We will take the west of Ireland, for example, which is not very heavily populated. We want to re-energise rural Ireland. If we go down the route of rewetting and reduction, that is going to happen in places where it is slightly more challenging to farm, which is more than likely the west of Ireland. There are certain cases where rewetting and restoration work. It is in very localised areas where you work with people. The implementation of the plan is the crucial part. It can work where it is done properly with proper consultation with local people and in terms of re-energising, bringing more people back to rural areas and generating different sorts of diversity, which generates more interest from a tourism point of view.
