Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Eamonn Farrell:

All co-ops have the advisers. The number ranges from six to maybe one, depending on the size of the entity, but all the co-ops have ASSAP advisers employed. They all have joint programmes in place with Teagasc as well. The sustainable dairy assurance scheme, SDAS, is funded through the co-operatives and that has been in place since 2013. There is, therefore, a range of sustainability measures to help farmers.
