Mr. Aidan Cotter:

I will now address the Chairman's question about the interaction of Bord Bia with the Irish Dairy Board. Since the launch of a €1 million annual fund and the introduction of the sustainable dairy assurance scheme, we have established a dairy subsidiary board which has representation from the various dairy processors, from farm organisations and, of course, from the Irish Dairy Board.

The €1 million fund to promote the scheme internationally and to promote Origin Green for the dairy sector internationally is sourced directly from the Irish Dairy Board and the Kerry Group. Everything we do, wherever it is in the world, is in partnership with our industry. That is a basic principle of how we operate right across the food sector, including the dairy industry itself. We do not do anything that is not in partnership, supported by industry and driven by the marketplace. We have a close relationship with the Irish Dairy Board which is a positive supporter of the Origin Green initiative. Hopefully, that answers the question.
