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 (Resumed)

Mr. John Dolan:

Absolutely. That is why we recommend making some funding available for farmers to pay the contractors. The contractor has the specialised equipment. Most contractors in the country who have relatively new fertiliser spreaders have the capability to achieve this very quickly. They have to buy additional equipment but the spreader, which is the main part, is already there. The contractors also have to be trained to use the software for uploading the data.
