Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Teagasc Annual Report 2018: Discussion
Professor Gerry Boyle:
Clearly, the CAP is outside our direct control. There is, however, awareness and I anticipate - though it is not our responsibility - that many of the measures in the CAP will have to reflect the suite of measures we have proposed and are in the climate action plan. Incentivisation measures will be required at some level and the CAP is the obvious vehicle to push through those. Again, it is not our direct responsibility but that of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. That is, however, the way I think it will be driven.
