Ceisteanna (668)

Paul Kehoe

Ceist:

738 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if she will reverse the decision not to reclassify spent mushroom compost as an industrial waste under REP scheme 4 rather than as it has always been classified with the chicken and pig manure due to the huge effects it will have on mushroom producers who will incur the significant additional expense of disposing of it when it should continue to be recycled; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Currently REPS farmers may import spent mushroom compost to be used to replace some or all of the chemical nitrogen requirements on the farm. I have no plans to change these arrangements in REPS 4.
