Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Hemp Industry: Discussion
Mr. Michael Moloney:
The uniformity that exists relates to cultivation. There are similar strict regulations governing hemp and not just in Ireland. They are across other countries. The uniformity probably relates to CAP regulations, where there has been acknowledgement of and increased THC content in the seed to give a greater diversity of varieties that can be grown. That is only for the basic payment regulation, as such.
