Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Development of Sheep Sector: Discussion

Mr. James Geoghegan:

There is a large market, which is why we are here. The first thing a farmer with 4,000 ha to 6,000 ha has to do is buy 300 or 400 stakes. Every drain, river, bog and wildlife area has to be fenced off this year.
