Chairman:

I thank Mr. Donnellan. Mr. Donnellan is here to give members a briefing in advance of meeting the farming organisations. I ask that members limit questions to points of clarification around the Teagasc report. That would be very useful. We will try to limit the time for lead questioners to five minutes and other questioners to three minutes.

This report will be very important in drawing up our report in the end of January. Based on Teagasc's interactions with the farming community, what are the challenges and barriers to rolling out the findings of the Teagasc report to reduce these greenhouse gas emissions? What incentives or supports should the Government provide to help implement the report and reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
