Climate Change Policy

============================================================

Charlie McConalogue (FF), Donegal

I know the Deputy has been advocating for farmers to maximise the potential to produce energy in the years ahead as has the Government. Regarding the joined-up thinking that will be required to drive progress on this, we are engaged on a cross-Department basis to ensure the systems talk to one another so that it ultimately works at farm level. We need to support farmers to put the infrastructure in place. We need to ensure the planning capacity is there so that it can be done easily in practical ways. There should be rewards for farmers so that they can be paid for it. There is great potential for this and we are engaging to ensure it happens. We will see significant progress on it in the next year.
