Agriculture Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2025-05-20
============================================================

Naoise Ó Muirí (FG), Dublin Bay North

I was reading about the scheme. There is just one little wrinkle, which is that there does not seem to be support for microgeneration. A farmer cannot put panels on the roof and put excess power back into the grid. It seems a little unfair, given that you can in a residence. If there are panels on the roof of a home, excess power can be put back into the grid. That feels like a missed opportunity. Maybe it could be looked at in future.
