Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 January 2018
483. Deputy Lisa Chambers asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his plans to relax the rules for persons who have applied for GLAS that have the low emission slurry spreading as their option in view of the wet weather since July 2017 resulting in land being waterlogged. [3973/18]
View answerThe GLAS requirements for each action are applied nationally and apply to all participants.
An application for force majeure can be made on a case by case basis where due to weather it was not possible to access land to comply with the low emission slurry spreading action. Any such application should show that there was adequate storage capacity for the slurry produced on the farm for the period or alternatively that slurry was exported.
