Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Nature Restoration Law and Land Use Review: Discussion

Mr. Vincent Roddy:

As Mr. McDonnell mentioned, some farmers are currently involved in the EIP scheme. Farmers are free to choose that. It should always be the choice of the farmer and as Mr. Buckley mentioned about the retrofitting, it has to be a choice. We would always protect the farmers' right to choose. That has to be so.
