Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

5:30 pm

Dr. Jenny Deakin:

The issues we normally see associated with forestry are the sediment, drainage and habitat condition, followed by the phosphorus. As we discussed earlier, it is not typically a nitrate problem scenario. It is more about the sediment and the drainage and the phosphorus coming from the brash after the clearfelling has happened.
