I advise the Deputy that I, along with my officials met with the CEO of Bord Bia at the first of a regular cycle of agri-food industry events on Wednesday 10 January at the launch the Bord Bia Export Performance and Prospects Report 2023-2024.

Bord Bia is closely aligned with the strategies and policies of my Department, specifically the agri-food industry strategy of Food Vision 2030 and the Chief Executive of Bord Bia is a member of the Food Vision High Level Implementation Committee (HLIC) which meet quarterly and of which I am the Chair. The next HLIC meeting is scheduled to take place on Wednesday 06 March 2024.

There is also regular and ongoing contact between officials in my Department and colleagues in Bord Bia up to an including at Secretary General level.
