Liz McManus
Question:162 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if she has considered the future economic advantage to the economy here if Ireland was a genetically modified organism production free area in the context of a world where few such nation states could so be described; if she will commission an evaluation study to determine the answer to this question as a follow-up to its Economic Evaluation of a GM Free Country an Irish Case Study carried out by Teagasc, which did not consider a scenario in which 100% of crop and livestock producers did not adopt GMO technology and did not consider a scenario in which a market price premium and demand increase might reasonably be inferred in the absence of many other GMO free production zones worldwide for GMO production free countries; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
