Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Climate Action Plan and its Implications for the Agriculture Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Tim Lombard (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
The witnesses have given no real acknowledgement of the major changes in agricultural systems and networks as to how raw manure is spread by drilling into the ground instead of blowing up into the air. It was the biggest game changer we have seen in the past five years and the public and communities have commented on it continuously. They have seen a real change in air quality, particularly in the past three years. I am not being argumentative. I find it disappointing that the witnesses have not said what needed to be done or outlined a way forward with what needed to be promoted.
