Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
12:30 pm
Mr. Thomas Cooney:
If we do not meet demand, it will be met elsewhere. Beef produced in Brazil has four times the carbon footprint of beef produced here. Our dairy farmers are similarly more carbon efficient than any other place in the world. We are the best placed in the world to meet growing demand in developing nations.
