Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Climate Change Issues: Discussion
4:00 pm
Mr. Bill Callanan:
No. My understanding of the process is that it is to feed through externally and, I suppose, back to Government as opposed to Government feeding into it. That is the general approach. The assembly has an advisory group that identifies speakers, etc. I can confirm that as of yet nobody from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has been invited to make a presentation to it. There was a presentation to the Citizens' Assembly over the weekend from Teagasc in terms of the science, etc., as currently available.
