Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Ireland's Water Quality and the Nitrates Derogation: Discussion

Mr. Bill Callanan:

It is very difficult for us to model the economics when there are alternatives available to farmers. For example, how many of them would use that? We have 6,250 farmers who are currently exporting slurry for compliance and we do not know how many of those who are impacted, which we estimate at approximately 3,000, will avail of that opportunity.
