I emphasise that the purpose of a review of natural heritage areas would include contributing to the achievement of nature conservation objectives for bog habitats, selecting the most suitable bog habitats to be designated or to cease to be designated using the criteria as already provided for in the Bill and provided for in the Government amendment. It would also contribute to the carbon sequestration potential of bog habitats and to actions relevant to bog habitats contained in a national plan or a plan for the island of Ireland, for the time being, concerning the reversal of pollinator decline as provided for in the Government amendment. These would all be components included in any review of bog habitats. I will not accept this amendment.
