Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Nitrates Directive, Water Quality and Pollution: Discussion

Mr. Jack Nolan:

Okay. Once something becomes a regulatory requirement, we have a year to grant-aid it. After that, it cannot be grant-aided. Not every farmer needs to buy low emission equipment. It is important to emphasise that. Some farmers can avail of very good contractors locally. There is a need for us to meet our ammonia targets and that will require as much bovine livestock manure as possible to be applied using low emission equipment.
