All EU and national legislation relevant to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) is enforced by a large team of authorised officers assigned to specific geographic locations across by DAFM's Regional Office network. These officers work closely with their counterparts in the Local Authorities and other Government Departments and agencies.
Compliance notices are issued, as deemed appropriate, by individual officers across the country on a case-by-case basis depending on the specific circumstances involved. DAFM does not maintain a central database of compliance notices issued by authorised officers or of the specific legislation referred to in those notices.
