Mr. Brian Rushe:

One hundred percent. Look at what we are facing; we have no clear alternative. There is no alternative to peat so we have a situation where peat is being imported to satisfy the demand, and the demand is there. Until we have an alternative, the demand will remain. As the Chairman said before, it makes no sense. I am in north-west Kildare, in the middle of the bog really, where there are fruit growers bringing in peat on boats when they could literally buy it from their next-door neighbour but they are not allowed to touch it. It is something that needs to be progressed. It has been a constant issue during my time in this role for the last four years.
