Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 April 2021
266. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the Bord Na Móna and privately owned bogs and peatlands by county that are due to be rewetted, reseeded and regenerated for the purpose of carbon sequestration; and the individual size of the bogs that are to be regenerated in tabular form. [19674/21]
View answerThe National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has been established as Scheme Regulator for the Bord Na Móna Enhanced Decommissioning, Rehabilitation and Restoration Scheme, in order to ensure effective oversight of the works. Bord Na Móna must submit a plan for each bog to both the NPWS in respect of this scheme and to the Environmental Protection Agency in respect of works required to meet their IPC licence obligations. As part of this process, Bord Na Móna will consult with stakeholders and landowners that may be impacted by the scheme. Peatlands identified for inclusion in the scheme are set out in the below table. The exact areas in the individual bogs may change, although this will not negatively impact the final aggregate area (32,779 Ha) that will benefit from enhanced interventions. Further information on the peatlands included in the Scheme may be found on the dedicated Bord na Móna site: https://www.bnmpcas.ie/
