John Cummins (Waterford, Fine Gael)

The answer to the Senator's first question is yes, I believe that these exemptions will have a positive impact on water quality. It is about ensuring, as I said, that we have adequate and sufficient storage on farms and that it is used at the appropriate time in order to reduce the likes of chemical fertiliser. This will have a positive impact for farmers from a cost perspective as well. It might also assist in the case of a neighbouring tillage farm that might need additional nutrient spreading at a particular time. It is about the efficient management of slurry storage on farms and I believe that it will have a positive impact on water quality.

What was the Senator's second question?
