The Department of Agriculture received over 300 submissions to the consultation from members of the public - and no doubt farm and environmental organisations.
Over 300 submissions were made to the Department of Agriculture’s consultation on the new Sustainable Use of Pesticides Regulations.
Submissions were accepted from 4 November until 24 February.
Members of the public and organisations were encouraged to have their say on the regulations, which will be legally binding and aim to reduce the use and risk of chemical pesticides by 50% by 2030, reduce pesticide use in sensitive areas, require independent advisers to deliver advice and have a pesticides register, among other requirements.
