The named organisation is owned and operated by industry stakeholders and is a not for profit entity charged with ensuring stakeholder responsibility for the direction of livestock breeding in Ireland.
It is the only body approved by my Department to carry out performance recording, assessment of genetic value and publication of breeding values for dairy and beef cattle in Ireland. Accordingly, no other organisation was available to deliver the service as required.
