Will the Minister tell the House what he considers to be a realistic timeframe in which a plan can be put in place for the 53 bogs? With regard to relocation, where this is an option, what does the Minister of State consider a realistic timeframe? In the event that relocation or compensation is not an option, does he consider compensatory habitats are an option? As per section 6.4 of the directive, will his Department actively pursue compensatory habitats where no other option is available?
