Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme (26 Oct 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I think the organics scheme is one model. There are a lot of incentives in it, in fairness.

You need a woeful load of money to buy everything at the beginning.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee. It is a good idea for the committee to hold a few meetings because we cannot cover all the topics we need to cover in one. Earlier when someone asked a question, Ms O'Sullivan and Mr. Condon seemed to be coming from two different angles. What is Ms O'Sullivan's response to Mr. Condon's statement on Articles 4 and 9?

Phase two will be finished in 18 months. What is the witnesses' interpretation of that? I would like them to answer as quickly as they can because I want to try to ask as many questions as I can?

Michael Fitzmaurice: We got a few emails. Farm organisations will have been involved in the Life project. My understanding is that is voluntary.

We got an email today from an MEP which we were talking about before the meeting started. There is a dispute about the information we were given from...
