Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Ireland's Water Quality and the Nitrates Derogation: Discussion
Tim Lombard (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I am tight for time. Perhaps Mr. Callanan could correspond with me in writing on that.
On the economic impact of the decision, what has happened in the last month is probably the worst decision for agriculture and the dairy industry in 40 years. Can the Minister give me a breakdown of the economic impact the decision will have on the State, for milk processors and farmers, and in respect of where we are going with the economy? It is a €17.2 billion industry potentially. What is this going to cost us?
