Charlie McConalogue (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I have no doubt that the Northern Irish Administration takes as seriously as we do the importance of ensuring that nutrients are well managed and facilities of the highest standards are in place on each farm to do that. We give massive grants of between 40% and 60% to support farmers to put in place slurry tanks, sheds and appropriate handling facilities. Farmers take it really seriously. It is something I take very seriously. Our environment is absolutely crucial to us and central to that is the appropriate use of organic manure and fertilisers and appropriate storage of them. We will continue to take that very seriously here and I have no doubt that the Northern Irish Administration will do so also. If the Deputy has particular questions about this matter, he should direct them to the Northern Irish Administration.
