Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Farm Management Information Technology Systems: Discussion
2:50 pm
Mr. Barry Lynch:
I will get back to Deputy Heydon's question also. We make a clear distinction between the legislative software which relates to e-government, the agfood.ie website and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and all the things to which the Deputy referred. That will happen and it should happen. That is the way the world works. Governments should follow up with web and smartphone technology and do the things the State requires citizens to do. There is no issue with this whatsoever.
