The draft plan states that the Dairy Sustainability Ireland working group has commenced a project to look at options for driving reductions of both national and catchment scale and that the project is at its initial stages. The IFA stated that it is not aware of the Dairy Sustainability Ireland working group referred to in this proposal and that it is its understanding that no such group exists. It further stated that its understanding is that no formal proposal was submitted to the Department and financial support has not been agreed. Which of those two statements is correct?
