Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing: Discussion

Dr. Barbara Doyle Prestwich:

I will say something on that and then hand over to Dr. Badmi, who is our molecular biologist. Reference was made to Spain and Portugal. Those crops, using what I will call the previous technology, which is still very much operational, would have genetic information from another organism incorporated in them. I think Deputy Carthy understands that.
