Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Farm Management Information Technology Systems: Discussion

2:20 pm

Mr. Gerry Lynskey:

Calf registration would be a classic example. Up to that time, if one wanted to use a computer one used one's farm software package to e-mail a calf registration whereas afterwards, when the Department website appeared, the farmer could log on directly. In a sense, it replaced the functionality.

Is this a direct input rather than using the host system?
