Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Challenges Facing the Tillage Industry: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Bobby Miller:

I do not have the figure in front of me. It was 70,000 tonnes last year, I think, but that figure is available from the Department of agriculture. I will remind everyone here that one of the first loads of grain to leave Ukraine landed in Ireland after the war. It was supposed to be destined for the Horn of Africa and those countries and our politicians clapped in the grain at the port.
