Mr. Nolan spoke about slurry storage and farmers being overstocked or expanded. Will there be a facility to grant-aid those farmers? There was a proposal that every shed would have to be covered or something. Would it not be better to give a grant for the ground to put in the tanks everywhere? Some farmers might be over their stock or area where they have enough storage. How does the Department plan to tackle that?
