Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Development of the Hemp Sector in Ireland: Discussion

Mr. Eoin Carew:

There was no mention of land in the report, which referred to direct jobs, indirect jobs and induced jobs. The direct jobs would be for farmers employed by the agribusiness project, the indirect jobs would be created by suppliers and distributors, and the induced jobs would be created when overall economic activity rises.
