The Coillte-Gresham House agreement has stoked political debate this week, with further pressure exerted on Ministers Charlie McConalogue and Pippa Hackett.
Members of the Citizen’s Assembly on Biodiversity Loss voted overwhelmingly in favour of holding a referendum of the people to amend the constitution with a view to protecting biodiversity.
Some members of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Environment suggested that there is an opportunity for Ireland to stop looking for nitrates derogation from Brussels.
Jackie Cahill TD stated that while the fertiliser database ‘loophole’ could be solved by seeking NI herd numbers, unregistered North-south movements will be more difficult to control.
The Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture has issued a report recommending 19 changes to the legislation which will introduce two farmer databases.
The committee also agreed that “all farmers need to know what their greenhouse has emissions are and how these are affected when they change their farm output and farming practices”.
