PQ 4
4 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he has evaluated the devastating impact for organic farmers if commercial GM production in the EU is allowed, in view of the fact that GM pollen would spread across the landscape and organic food, and if found to contain GM material, cannot legally be sold as organic; and if measures will be taken to ensure that Irish agriculture is GMO free.
