Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Calculation of Methane Emissions: Discussion

Mr. John Hourigan:

What needs to be done is that we are allowed a net carbon footprint and if we have forestry and grassland, that the removals are accounted for so we can have a net carbon footprint. If every farmer in Ireland was net carbon neutral then we would have no problem and there would be no forestry planted until such time as that situation arises when we are allowed to account for them.
