Paddy McHugh
Question:371 Mr. McHugh asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will liaise with the Department of Agriculture and Food to ensure that the organic nitrogen application limits to be included in the Government’s nitrates action programme be set at 250kg N per hectare thereby recognising that Irish farming is grass based livestock farming, unlike farming in other EU member states which have highly concentrated arable and livestock production systems; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
