PQ 1416
1416. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his plans to review the slurry-spreading calendar given changing weather patterns, which can leave farmers not allowed spread slurry in decent weather with good soil conditions, and allow farmers to spread slurry when ground is saturated; this, compounded by the fact that many farmers do not have enough storage to hold slurry right through a very wet January, February and March, for example; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
