Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Climate Change Issues specific to the Agriculture, Food and Marine Sectors: Discussion (Resumed)

3:30 pm

Mr. Joe Condon:

The active farmer definition was mentioned. It will be landed upon at member state level. We will call upon this committee to recommend strongly to the Government that all farming organisations are consulted prior to any definition being arrived at.

That means every farming organisation would be consulted and perhaps an Oireachtas committee might even be developed.
