Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

I am quite happy to talk about traditional agriculture but organic agriculture as it is now practised takes on board traditional agriculture with the research that is being carried out for the efficient use of resources. The use of seaweed in my constituency of Dublin North is the bedrock of the horticultural industry there, so to that extent I am very familiar with the potential of maritime resources. In addition to the horticultural sector, seaweed has also been widely used scientifically on many golf courses.
