Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Nature Restoration Law and Land Use Review: Discussion
Ms Geraldine O'Sullivan:
Regarding those targets, that is an ongoing process. That is the work we are building on through the EIPs. There is also a difference in the sense that the targets relate to rehabilitation so it is not a rewetting but a rehabilitation of the land similar to restoration. It is not removing animals from land; it is looking at a lower intensity. We are looking at two different things. It is a rehabilitation within the climate action plan, not a rewetting.
