Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Climate Change Issues: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Jack Nolan:

That is with the exception of the indoor herds that were mentioned earlier. In the North there are more indoor herds than here. There is higher input and higher output in the North. We are producing on grass. This is the year of sustainable grassland, as established by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and we are trying to get farmers to utilise grass more efficiently because there is more profit for Irish farmers in doing so.
