Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food
Nitrates Derogation: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
2:00 am
Mr. Bill Callanan:
All I can articulate is what Ireland's ask is in relation to it. It is very much around maintaining the 220 kg N/ha and 250 kg N/harates. Naturally, there is an engagement process here with the Commission. I cannot pre-empt its side of it. It is clearly Ireland's ask regarding the continuation of derogation.
