PQ 311
379 Deputy Seymour Crawford asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the plans he has to re-examine the regulations being imposed on the spreading of pig slurry or poultry litter on farms in view of the high cost of fertiliser; his views on whether the new regulations being imposed regarding phosphate from 1 January 2011 will make it impossible under the current regulations to utilise such valuable organic manures and that the test work that has been done on this issue was carried out on totally different soil structures than that of Cavan and Monaghan where the main production of pigs and poultry is carried out; if he will ensure that proper research is carried out in this region and that results of such research would be used as a basis for proper regulation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
