The restoration and rehabilitation of wetlands to change land use from peat extraction to carbon sequestration has been earmarked for €108m from the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
Ireland is to receive €989m from the RRF, which will provide €800bn to support investments and reforms across the EU.

It’s the largest stimulus package ever financed by the EU, aimed at facilitating countries to emerge stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ireland, being the only EU country whose economy grew last year, has been awarded a very small proportion of the overall fund.
The money is set to be paid out in tranches as targets are achieved. The first portion of €400m will be paid out by June 2022, followed by two lump sums of €200m each.
The balance will come in late 2024 into 2025, with the last payment due by the end of 2026.
