Mr. Seán Finan:

We need to see what the capital grant programme that was announced will look like. I mentioned the RENURE initiative which this committee could look at in terms of how that could be transposed in Ireland which would allow farmers to displace chemical fertiliser. We have very strong and robust animal byproducts regulations. They are a mechanism by which the sector can be helped to grow and develop. The other regulatory challenge is that we have issues around digestate use, standards and the EPA's involvement in that. We need to engage with the authority on that.
