EU Directives
Dail Éireann — 2021-07-15
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I had a short conversation with the Minister about this issue. I have been inundated with messages from farmers and contractors. I suppose it is an unintended consequence of the European directive on single-use plastic, which will affect those involved in growing maize. Is there is anything the State intends to do to mitigate these difficulties?
