Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Pat McCormack:

That is a huge challenge. At any stage of the year, it is not until 31 December or, indeed, 1 January in any given year that a person will know his or her full stock for the year. That can have an impact on a person's fertiliser usage. It shows the lack of flexibility that is out there.
