There is also a vast amount of domestic peat extraction land in Ireland. The 2015 Irish Peatland Strategy suggests its a massive 612k. This could also be a possible option to contribute to the agricultural target, if some such land holders were incentivised to rewet.

The Nature Restoration Law is in danger of being rejected. That would be a disaster. U can see clearly from the figures above there is no reason for Irish MEPs to vote against it based on peatland rewetting targets.

EU Parliament current draft target would set Ireland a 2050 rewetting target of 153k hectares. I am the @Left_EU shadow rapporteur for the Nature Restoration Law. I know for a fact that this 153k target will not survive, my staff and are part of the negotiations.

The Council position would give Ireland a lesser target. Ireland argued for weaker target at Council (@greenparty_ie government minister allowed this to happened). Council target would mean a 2050 rewetting target for Ireland of 83k hectares, which Bord na Mona alone could meet

Why are @markey, @BillyKelleherEU, @LeoVaradkar and others scaremongering about Ireland's rewetting targets? Have they not read the text or do they not understand it? Would there be an EU election on the way?

Read the words on the page and look at Commission impact assessment, p480. Ireland 's 2050 rewetting target is 116k hectares (ie half of 70% or 35% of total drained peatlands under agriculture, or 332k hectares). Let's end the disinformation and stop scaring farmers.
