Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

5:30 pm

Mr. Patrick Byrne:

We can only base it on what has been found in those two years. As I mentioned, we are increasing the training available to the inspectors in the local authorities, supported by established local authority inspectors and others from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Slurry capacity is one of the aspects they would focus on.
