Mr. Paul Kelly:

That is why if we look at the 2020 and 2030 targets, there is a need to go back and examine how those accounting methodologies consider agricultural production across the EU. At domestic level, the comprehensive work done to date by the Department and Teagasc shows relatively limited amounts of potential mitigation based on the current available technologies. The reason for that in part is we cannot engineer methane out of cows because of the enteric fermentation process but also because the processes in this country are efficient. That is the dilemma we face. We are probably close to being as efficient as is possible.
