Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Nitrates Directive, Water Quality and Pollution: Discussion
Mr. David Flynn:
I might ask my colleagues from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to comment in a moment. In the previous review, in 2019, we looked at the excretion rates and made changes in that regard. The Commission asked us specifically to examine the disaggregated excretion rate in this review. This stems from a query and a commentary of the Commission in respect of what it expects to see in the next programme.
On the specifics, I might hand over to colleagues Mr. Nolan or Mr. Harris.
