Hayes Call On Slurry
Tom Hayes T.D.
Tipperary TD Tom Hayes has met with the Environment Minister Phil Hogan about the fast approaching slurry spreading deadline. The recent wet weather has made it impossible for farmers to empty tanks of slurry before the deadline at the end of October.
“This has been one of the wettest years on record with the result farmers have been unable to spread slurry over the fields.
“I would urge farmers to spread as much slurry as possible in this current dry spell as there is no guarantee of an extension. However I hope that common sense will prevail if the weather breaks again before the deadline.
“I have spoken to Minister Hogan and he is aware of the urgency of the situation” said Deputy Hayes.
