Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Development of Sheep Sector: Discussion
Mr. Richard O'Connor:
Obviously, creosote qualifies for TAMS. I know that, if I rang the National Standards Authority of Ireland, NSAI, tomorrow and asked whether it would have an equivalent of TAMS in place for copper oil fencing from the beginning of May, such a scheme would not exist because the work is not done. For example, the work with the chemical companies that are supplying the product only began last Monday.
