Committee on Public Petitions
Consideration of Public Petition on a Ban on Herbicides in Public Areas: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Bill Callanan:
Yes, but we will always make updates in line with updates of directives etc. That is a natural process. I do not know the timelines. When we get a new regulation, it has to be discussed. Consequently, we will update our guidance, as we do in any other regulatory area. That would include booklets etc. I have responsibility for the nitrates directive. We have just introduced new regulations with the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage and we will translate those into guidance for farmers this year.
