Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Sectoral Emissions Ceilings: Discussion
Martin Browne (Tipperary, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
We heard that if methane was managed properly, it could be part of the solution. At the same time, however, we also heard that the IFA accused the Government of doing little to make anaerobic digestion feasible at farm level and that this fact puts us behind the curve. We seem to be lacking a proactive response - for the want of a better phrase - to the issue which committee members are concerned about. I appreciate that it may be said that this is for the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to address but that is not the case anymore because we keep hearing that this is an issue across the Departments. Does the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications have any views on that?
