Nitrates Derogation and Nitrates Action Programme: Discussion

Mr. Pat McCormack:

Their supply would be very different. In the Republic, a lot of cows come in between 6,000 and 8,000 l, whereas in the North it would be 10,000 to 12,000 l. They are talking about a very different animal and not near as dependent on the pasture base as we are.
