Bord na Móna plc recently presented its group strategy document and five-year corporate plan for 2004-05 to 2008-09. These documents outline the company's proposals to deal with increasing commercial and environmental pressures, and its diversification beyond peat-based products into new sectors including alternative energy, environmental projects and waste management. I subsequently discussed these proposals with the chairman and the board at a meeting on 5 April 2005. Arising from this meeting, Bord na Móna plc is to provide additional information. I hope to be in a position to revert to the company relatively quickly thereafter.
