Restoration potential is already catered for in the Bill. Restoration potential is the same as rewetting. Restoration is achieved through rewetting. We see that with the nature restoration regulation, which refers to rewetting, but it is one of the measures as part of restoration. It is already there. If anything, the concerns of the Irish Wildlife Trust to which Deputy Cian O'Callaghan referred are unfounded. What we are achieving with this will give effect to considering the potential in the review of the restoration of blanket bog habitats right across the country.
