Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Climate Change Issues: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Bill Callanan:

There is a global research alliance which brings together all countries with similar ambitions in terms of the research agenda. There is also a European network regarding that research agenda in which we participate fully. The financing is provided on an international basis but with the national authority funding that is done within the national boundary. It is done completely through collaboration. A lot of effort is going into that research agenda. We have an intervention which we are comfortable will reduce emissions within the animal itself. There are other interventions for manure, etc.
