The application of organic fertilizers, excluding Farmyard Manure, is prohibited between October 1 and January 12.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

These restrictions directly constrain farming operations in County Wexford by limiting the timing of fertilizer and slurry application. The council's actions are part of the broader government mandate to manage local environmental compliance. Minister Martin Heydon has acknowledged that weather conditions, such as drought, present significant challenges for farmers.
