It was agreed under Sustaining Progress to undertake a comprehensive review of the habitats regulation. Following extended discussions with representatives of the farming pillar, an agreement has now been concluded. This agreement includes provision for an increase in the rates of compensation paid to bog owners whose land has been statutorily proposed for designation as part of either a special area of conservation or a natural heritage area. While the group referred to by the Deputy is not a representative group within the farming pillar and as such is not party to this agreement, officials of my Department are available to meet and discuss any aspects of the agreement with it, on request.
