Dr. Frank O'Mara:

It is not something we suggest should be done at a large scale at this stage. It has been put forward by some as something to consider, but the positives in terms of carbon sequestration would have to be weighed against the negatives in terms of the delayed income and the throughput through the mills.

On how well attuned the Common Agricultural Policy measures are, I would say some of them are. For instance, we see a very significant increase on the cards in forestry to encourage increased afforestation. We have yet to see the shape of the measures there might be around rewetting, but in the current climate action plan that was published in 2021 there is a commitment to look at rewetting approximately 80,000 ha of agricultural soils. That climate action plan is being updated and we will have a new one by the end of the year, although I am not sure what the target in that will be. We have not yet seen how it will be done and what the policy measure that will bring it forward will be. There is no centralised scheme or planning as to how rewetting will happen. There are some European Innovation Partnership-funded projects around this which I am not familiar with, but perhaps Mr. Ó Brolcháin is because he is involved with some of them, so he might be able to talk about who is involved and why they are involved.
