Mr. Michael Earls:

However, it is not our fault that Teagasc has done nothing in this field. We have gone ahead and invested in it ourselves. Can we wait another two or three years for Teagasc do what it may do in the next two or three years to get on to the MAC curve? In two or three years, farmers will be further down the line and their emissions will be even higher than they are now. We need to act now rather than continually waiting another while. We are saying now is the time to act.
