Any NHA review would fit in the national peatlands strategy and the focus of any review would be on nature conservation, in terms of maintaining or restoring bog habitat. Public consultation will be an essential part of any such review. Any Government will be cognisant of changes in policy and recommendations that come through the Oireachtas and I cannot speak for what changes any future Minister will make to policy. We feel that, in the context of our strategy, there are enough safeguards in the legislation as it is.
