Dr. Laurence Shalloo:

The main project that Dr. Upton referred to is VistaMilk, which is a centre funded by Science Foundation Ireland and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. It has existed for three years. A major part of that programme relates to developing solutions for methane, whether that is through genetics, feed additives or grassland management, as well as quantifying in a robust fashion the level of sequestration going on in mineral and peat soils. They are a major part of that centre. It is linked with the Walton Institute, formerly known as the Telecommunications Software & Systems Group, with the Tyndall National Institute, UCD and the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation. It is a strong collaboration. Dr. Upton might speak about Munster Technological University, MTU.
