Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Organic Farming Scheme: Organic Farmers Representative Body
10:00 am
Mr. Enda Monaghan:
We were led to believe that the original budget was €10 million per year. We discovered that all they were spending was approximately €4.5 million. They brought us to a meeting in Agriculture House approximately two years ago, and they announced that the new organics scheme was going to be worth €44 million. If I recall what they were saying, this was an increase of 70% or 30%-----
