Department of housing, local government and heritage officials will appeal before the Oireachtas Climate Committee today to discuss biodiversity. Rewilding is a strategy used to promote biodiversity by reintroducing plant and animal species that have been driven out, largely due to humans. Is it time the government allowed all empty public spaces in Ireland to be rewilded?

Padraic Fogarty, Campaign Officer with the Irish Wildlife Trust spoke with Ciara on the show.
