Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Pat Sheahan:
It would be devastating. If you go into rural towns, like where I work in Kanturk, up and down the west coast, and take out or reduce agriculture, farming and agrifood, that will have a significant impact on rural Ireland. We do not have the foreign direct investment that some larger urban areas have in place.
