Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion
Mr. Denis Drennan:
There is an inspection on 10% of derogation farms every year. There is a one in ten chance of being inspected with derogation, and a guaranteed one inspection every month from SDAS, which will cross-reference if there is a pollution issue or something like that. Then there is the normal 5% to 10% in BISS and the eco schemes.
