Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Agriculture: Discussion
Dr. John Gilliland:
In the context of LiDAR, if we go on this journey, it will not only benefit farmers; it will actually benefit the nation. As the Deputy is aware, I work on both sides of the Border, as does our company. There has been an announcement that we are going to do LiDAR for the whole of Northern Ireland. When the business plan for that was in place, the point was made that LiDAR is really good for flood risk management or building a new road. We said this is a public good. In the North, it is the public purse that is stepping up.
