The membership of Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan (CSP) Monitoring Committee for the period 2023-2027 was drawn from a broad range of invited stakeholders who will provide full and adequate representation across a wide range of farming, environmental, governmental and other relevant stakeholders, including the forestry sector.

For reasons of efficiency and effectiveness of operation, it is not possible for all organisations that make requests to be afforded membership of the CSP Monitoring Committee. I consider that the membership is fully representative of the relevant stakeholders and will provide a forum for all views to be considered.

The first meeting of the Committee was held on 24 November. A full list of the membership of the CSP Monitoring Committee will be published on the Department's website in the coming weeks.
