Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I propose to take Questions Nos. 480 and 481 together.

In 2013 Bord na gCon (BnG) submitted a strategic plan to my department, however following the publication of the Indecon report in 2014 this became the road map for the industry. Bord na gCon followed up with timelines for implementing the 27 recommendations in the Indecon Report. This report dealt with governance, finance, regulation and welfare. This action plan is published on the BnG website.

Question No. 482 answered with Question No. 477.
