Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Agriculture: Discussion
Mr. Bill Callanan:
From my perspective, I am conscious that my forte and expertise is around the whole carbon issue. We have agreed the targets. I believe the Minister of State, Senator Hackett, and the forestry team are the right people to talk about it and to look the policy achievement in relation to that. We are clear that within the climate action plan there is a requirement in terms of increasing our afforestation. It is a Government policy objective.
