Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Nitrates Action Programme: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Michael Moroney:
We have made a number of submissions to the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine and to the Department of Finance. We have not had any response on a review. We would have expected that there would be some consultation as part of a review process. We have not had that consultation. It probably does not make us totally satisfied that it will take place. We feel that it is unfair that once again, farm contractors are required to pay the carbon tax when their customers can claim the carbon tax portion back as, in a sense, a second deduction.
