286. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his attention has been drawn to the 2022 United National Global Peatlands Assessment which suggests that the inclusion of climate concerns would, because of the enormous carbon density of peat, lead to more shallow thresholds for example, 10 cm (details supplied); if he will concede that a shallower threshold for Ireland than 50 cm is now required in view of this best available scientific advice and his sector’s increasing failure to meet Ireland’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
