Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine

9:00 am

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

It was not a report that suggested we should be doing things. It was the identification of measures that could contribute to a reduction in emissions from the sector. We are doing some of those things already. A significant portion of our CAP budget is dedicated to environmental and climate change measures. We have a programme to improve the breed efficiency of animals and improve the environmental sustainability of farmers but we will have to do a great deal more on that. We have a programme for forestry.
