Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Eamonn Farrell:
ICOS's submission proposed that the Government should consider the climate and nature fund that was announced in the budget last October. While the detail was not known as to what the budget could be used for, as explained today a large part of the reason slurry storage is coming to the fore is due to climate reasons and it would be fully justifiable to utilise that fund for that purpose.
