The Senator has mentioned a number of initiatives, including the midlands...

Seanad: Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Oct 2019)

Seán Kyne: I agree they are positive. This is the first year of the carbon fund that has specifically been ring-fenced. It is an issue for future Governments as to how the trajectory of carbon increases is put to use. I assume and suspect more of this would be funded toward peatland rehabilitation and the midlands fund, as well as other initiatives. We can agree this is a start and more will be required.
