Mr. Seamus Boland:

First, let us be clear about the stakeholders and we met the stakeholders also. Let us also be clear I have huge regard for them because they are in a difficult situation and as I said certainly the peat stock owners do not have the same belief in the planning system. The simple reality is that we have never said there are none available. There were simply none available to be put forward and that is the slight difference. Yes, we would argue there are available sites. In order to be available for use they have to effectively offer it and somebody has to come forward with his or her own property and say that it is available and that he or she is willing to go through the planning system and all the hassle that goes with it. That is the difference. I am not saying they are not there or do not exist, of course they do. Again, will they go the next step and ring me or ring the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, either of us will help, to say they wish to put forward their 30-ha site for examination and to let us take it from there? They did not want to do that.
