Overview of Land Use: EPA and Teagasc

3:35 pm

Deputy Eamon Ó Cuív:

Is it possible for the witnesses to provide us with a "Ladybird" guide? We have been told that 7% of land use is forestry and every year that sequestrates a certain number of tonnes of CO2. Approximately 4% of or land is used for tillage crops and another percentage is used for animals. All the figures the witnesses gave are very useful. However, if we want a total land-use approach we need to know the pluses and minuses, and the approximate number of hectares for each land use. We could then have a ready reckoner of where we are going and it would give us the total picture. We do not want pages, but want it to be concise.
