Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Independent Mink Farms: Discussion
Ms Una Heffernan:
We have spent €3.5 million to €4 million on that because we had to put in guttering to catch the manure, put in guttering to take the rainwater from the roofs out and put in all top new cages. Also, the cage sizes changed, which was a recommendation of the EU but which is Irish law, and we had to put in all those. As I said, we put up the new houses because our houses are old and would not fit the second storey to give the area.
