Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Nitrates Derogation and Nitrates Action Programme: Discussion

Mr. John Enright:

What the Deputy is saying there is that because I am a derogation farmer, I am polluting. I think that is completely wrong. Derogation farmers can farm at that level of farming very sustainably from the environmental perspective. To generalise like that is unfair, to be quite honest.
