Mr. Barry Delany:

The landowner owns the carbon credits. It is the Department of agriculture that reports back under LULUCF and our other obligations as to what the carbon sequestration opportunities are in there. We report back on that, but the landowner owns them. As Deputy Lawless knows, the European Commission is doing a consultation at the moment to try to introduce an EU-wide scheme as to how landowners, farmers and foresters can avail and maybe monetise this in a certain way.
