Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Hemp Industry: Discussion

Mr. Michael Moloney:

In one particular case there was an issue around THC content. We gave our view on whether products should be allowed at a certain THC content, which at the time I believe was 0.3%. We gave our opinion at that stage. Where we are consulted we certainly will give an opinion and we will work with our Government colleagues on the development of the sector. The regulation around issuing licences is not under our remit.
