Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action
Exploring Technologies and Opportunities to Reduce Emissions in the Agriculture Sector: Discussion

Mr. Ronan Boyle:

I would like to comment on TAMS, if I may. Currently, the slurry technology system is grant-aided under TAMS but, unfortunately, the uptake has been very poor. This is mainly because the fact it is in TAMS means people are using their grant funding towards the building of the structure of the shed. The way prices are means that it is not feasible to get it in as part of the building. That is why we advocate that technology like this needs to sit directly outside TAMS in an emissions reduction fund.
