Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Nitrates Directive, Water Quality and Pollution: Discussion

Mr. Jack Nolan:

No. The sewage sludge regulation used to be part of cross-compliance but that is no longer the case. We do not get a list of farmers. Unless we inspect a farmer and he or she voluntarily tells us he or she is using sludge, we do not know about it.
