Pesticide Use
Seanad Éireann — 2023-01-26

Pippa Hackett (GP), Agricultural Panel

The pilot campaign proved to be very successful so running something similar again merits consideration. My Department will continue to work closely with the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, the EPA and other stakeholders to develop and implement a permanent national scheme for the collection of farm wastes. This could provide a mechanism to facilitate the identification and removal of existing stocks of carbofuran and other poisonous or illegally held chemicals. It is something we do need to work on and implement. It would serve us all and our wildlife well.
