Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Report on Developments in EU: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

That is right.

The Burren is one example. We are expanding the Burren scheme, but it is hoped other schemes will emerge under the locally led initiative and deliver similar benefits. The Burren scheme is very highly regarded in Europe and we think it can be replicated in other parts of the country. However, that is in specific patches, in fairness to Deputy McNamara's question.
