Intent: To voice farmers' anger and frustration at the ever-increasing administrative burden being placed on them which has had a major impact on farm family incomes.::These frustrations have broadened into anger with European and National lawmakers over the massive increase in regulations relating to Agriculture. The EU, the Irish Government and local Government are devising policies far from the farm gate with little or no consideration of the direct impact on farmers.::The following are some of the key issues that are contributing to growing frustration and anger with the political system::1. The transformation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) away from supporting food production towards actually reducing farm output. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) funding is being redirected to environmental schemes – the EU is effectively implementing new environmental regulations such as the “eco-schemes” on the cheap by redirecting existing funding instead of allocating additional funds.::2

Intent: To brief Members of the Oireachtas on the Nitrates Derogation::Member States must apply to the European Commission every four years to be granted a nitrates derogation. Strict criteria must be met in order to get a derogation. Member states must demonstrate that the higher stocking rate is justified based upon the presence of crops (including grass) with a high nitrogen uptake and a long growing season.::Ireland is ideally suited to demonstrate this given our unique system of outdoor, grass-based livestock production which is vastly different to livestock production systems across European Member States::Family farms that avail of a nitrates derogation must adhere to an additional suite of requirements. These include the submission of a fertiliser plan and an account of fertiliser purchases annually, environmental training, hedgerow management etc::In 2022 the Commission granted Ireland a derogation until the end of 2025. However, they attached a condition that the maximum stocking rat

Intent: To brief Oireachtas Members of the details of the current Nitrates Action Programme::The EU Nitrates Directive requires Member States to review water quality at least every four years and to create a Nitrates Action Programme (NAP). This programme outlines a suite of requirements that farmers must adhere to and is reviewed every four years.The fifth NAP was introduced in 2022::It includes additional measures such as a reduced inorganic fertiliser allowance, longer closed periods for spreading slurry, fertiliser and soiled water and greater adoption of low emission slurry spreading (LESS) equipment. It also outlines the maximum number of animals that can be present on farms based on the amount of nitrogen they excrete in a year.::This is capped at 170kg organic manure nitrogen/ha or in the case of farmers who are granted a nitrate derogation 250kg/N/ha.

Intent: To highlight that our grass-based livestock and arable land systems are among the world's most climate-efficient food production systems. Farmers will work to reduce emissions by adopting measures in the Teagasc Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) and other reasonable policy measure that do not negatively impact farm family incomes, the rural economy or food production.::To insist that as environmental measure undertaken by farmers are, in many cases, leading to increased costs at farm level, the marketplace must return a higher price to farmers to cover these increased costs of food production.::To focus on how the emissions from food production must be treated differently from emissions from non essential economic activity. There must be sustainable development of our farming and food sector to ensure an adequate supply of food for human nutrition.
