Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I am acutely aware of the shortage of labour that exists in some parts of the agri-food sector. It should be noted that the sector accounts for 7.9% of total employment, or approximately 174,000 jobs. As most of these jobs are based in rural areas, they are crucial to the rural economy.

Over the last year or so, labour supply issues have been most acute in meat processing, and on-farm in the horticulture and dairy sectors, although I am aware that some other parts of the industry are also beginning to face the same issue. While some potential exists to recruit labour from within the domestic and European labour markets right across the agri-food sector, it became apparent in recent times that this would be insufficient to meet the demand. Therefore, I and my officials have worked intensively with the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation Heather Humphreys and her Department in relation to employment permits for non-European Economic Area nationals.

The pilot scheme of permits introduced last year by Minister Humphreys for the horticulture, dairy and meat processing sectors has been crucial in helping employers in those sectors securing labour. To date, quotas of 1,500 permits for general operatives in meat processing, 500 for horticulture workers and 50 for dairy farm assistants have been allocated. I understand that there are still permits left in the allocation for horticulture which will serve as a critical aid to securing labour in that sector.

I am aware, however, that the allocation for dairy farm workers has been exhausted and I am in active engagement with Minister Humphreys with a view to extending this quota. In relation to the pig and poultry farm sectors, I and my officials have engaged with representatives and employers in relation to the preparation of a business case that is required before consideration can be given by Minister Humphreys to sanctioning permits for these sectors. This engagement is ongoing.

Alongside the dedicated pilot scheme for the agri-food sector, an overarching review of the broader employment permit system has been carried out by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation. Minister Humphreys published the report on this review last year and my Department, having actively participated in the review, is now participating in the inter-departmental group implementing the recommendations. I am confident that this exercise will lead to a permit regime that is more flexible and adaptable to the labour needs of the agri-food sector, particularly for seasonal employment, and expect to see positive developments in the period ahead.

I have always said that permits are just one piece of the jigsaw in addressing labour supply and that the sector must also intensify its efforts to source labour from both the domestic and EU markets. In this regard, my officials have been working closely with the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection to assist in these efforts and ensure that employers in need of labour are aware and make use of the many employment services which that Department offers.

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I propose to take Questions Nos. 2097 and 2098 together.

Over a series of Budgets, I have put in place measures to assist companies prepare for and mitigate the impact of Brexit.

In Budget 2018, my Department contributed to a €300m Brexit Loan Scheme, at least 40% of which is available to food businesses. The Scheme was developed by the Department in cooperation with Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, the Department of Finance and the SBCI to provide working capital support to enable eligible Irish businesses (SMEs and small mid-caps) to implement the necessary changes to address the challenges posed by Brexit. It opened for applications on 28 March 2018 and it will remain open until 31 March 2020. It provides for loans of €25,000 to €1,500,000 per eligible enterprise, at a maximum interest rate of 4%, ranging from 1 year to 3 years, with unsecured loans up to €500,000. The loans can be used for future working capital requirements or to fund innovation, change or adaptation of the business to mitigate the impact of Brexit.

Budget 2018 also introduced a €50m dedicated Brexit package which included supports to Bord Bia and Teagasc. This funding is supporting Bord Bia in its investment in market insight (through its ‘ThinkingHouse’) and in market prioritisation initiatives which are aimed at identifying and developing potential diversification opportunities. Furthermore, tailored supports and analysis are also being provided to food companies through Bord Bia’s Brexit Barometer.

Regarding product diversification, my Department is supporting Teagasc in the development of a new National Food Innovation Hub in Fermoy.

Budget 2019 introduced a €78m Brexit package for farmers, fishermen, food SMEs and to cover additional costs related to Brexit. Of this €27 million was for capital funding for the food industry.

Lastly, the Future Growth Loan Scheme launched by DBEI/DAFM will bring up to €300 million of long-term strategic investment loans available to eligible Irish businesses, including farmers and the agri-food & seafood sectors. The fund is leveraged by exchequer funding of €62 million, of which 40% or some €25 million has been provided by my Department. Businesses have been able to apply for loan eligibility through the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI) since 17th April 2019.

Brexit Issues

Ceist:

2099. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his plans to protect origin of food products from the island of Ireland in all post-Brexit scenarios. [34222/19]

Freagraí scríofa

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The placement of food products on the EU market is governed by a comprehensive and robust legislative framework laid down at EU level, controlled by Member States in the first instance and audited by the EU Commission. My Department pays a key role in the enforcement of legislation in this area along with other Government departments and state agencies such as the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) and the Health Service Executive.

Labelling of food, which incorporates mandatory country of origin information, is governed by EU food legislation on the provision of Food Information to Consumers (Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011). This currently applies to certain products such as the meat of pigs, sheep, goats and poultry, beef, fish, honey, olive oil, and fresh fruit and vegetables.

From 1 April 2020, it will be mandatory to indicate the country of origin of the primary ingredient (which makes up more than 50% of a food) if it is different from the country of origin of the product as a whole.

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

My Department has been actively participating in a whole-of-Government approach to preparedness and contingency planning for Brexit. We have fed into the overall Government Contingency Action Plan and the updated Plan which was published earlier this month.

We have also been working very closely with colleagues in other Departments and agencies to address, in particular, the requirements that will arise in relation to the implementation of controls on animals, plants and animal and plant products coming from, and going to, the UK post Brexit.

Throughout all this work, the focus of my Department has been on the need to discharge its legal responsibilities while ensuring the minimum disruption to trade.

OPW is engaged in the provision of infrastructure at Dublin and Rosslare ports on behalf of all Government Departments/Agencies. My Department has not been allocated funding in any of the years since 2016 for the upgrade of infrastructure at either Dublin or Rosslare ports.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 2101 to 2107, inclusive, together.

Given the large volume of information sought by the Deputy the information will be forwarded in the coming days.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A

General approach to Brexit resourcing

With respect to addressing Brexit contingencies, my Department continues to participate actively in the Whole-of-Government approach to preparedness and contingency planning for Brexit. The Government sanctioned in the region of €4m for the commencement of a phased process for the recruitment of additional staff to carry out increased volumes of import controls and export certification arising from Brexit.

These requirements are significant, and arise in relation to the carrying out of documentary, identity and physical checks on imports of animals, plants, and products of animal and plant origin, as set out in EU legislation. My Department had previously carried out an extensive analysis exercise to establish the potential volumes of controls that will need to be carried out. This exercise has been used, where appropriate, to guide relevant planning in relation to putting in place the staff that will be required.

Regarding staffing requirements, at all stages, my Department has sought to use a combination of recruitment, redeployment and temporary flexible solutions, such as contracted veterinary services, where appropriate and as necessary. Given the level of uncertainty surrounding Brexit, my Department’s approach has been to adopt, where possible, options that offer a degree of flexibility, such as internal short term redeployment and contracted services, whilst ensuring, in conjunction and cooperation with our recruitment partners, the Public Appointments Service (PAS), that avenues for more permanent recruitment are available and can be drawn from as necessary. This approach is with a view to being able to address requirements in the near to medium term across various possible contingencies, from the negative end of the spectrum in terms of a no deal-Brexit to more benign contingencies of a Brexit based on a deal between the EU and the UK.

In terms of requirements to address Brexit, some 190 resources were identified as being needed as of March/April 2019. This has been reassessed more recently to take account of aspects such as changes to policies and procedures or additional infrastructure, e.g. the infrastructure used to conduct controls on 31st October will be different to that which was available on 12th April.

Targeted requirement for 31 October 2019

Focussing on immediate initial requirements, in the area of East-West import and export controls for UK product into Ireland, in the event of a no-deal Brexit on October 31st, my Department will have 240 staff resources available across a range of disciplines in both front line control and back up administrative spheres. This overall number will include recruits, redeployed staff and contracted Private Veterinary Practitioners (PVPs). A breakdown of the resources required is outlined in the tables below. Indicative front-line resources will be primarily deployed at Dublin Port (58% approx.), Rosslare Port (14% approx.) and Backweston (18% approx.)

Front Line Control Divisions –Requirements and Locations

	DAFM	Dublin Port	Rosslare Port	Backweston	Other staff
HPHD	99	37	10	45	7
NDCC	128	95	19		14
Forestry	13	5	5		3
Total	240	137	34	45	24

Recruitment

Overall, the key grades where the majority of deployment will occur are in veterinary and portal inspector roles on the animals and products of animal origin side, as well as agricultural and forestry inspectors and portal inspectors on the plant health and forestry side.

In terms of recruitment, engagement with PAS is ongoing.

Approximately 60% of overall requirements, with reference to the aggregate of 240, are portal inspectors. Some 75 positions will be filled in the context of a hard Brexit, with around two-thirds of these earmarked for Plant Health requirements, both at the port and performing documentary checks in Backweston (see Backweston Column in table above). These requirements are being addressed through redeployment and also by recruitment processes with the Public Appointments Service.

Whilst, in the near term, Agricultural and Forestry Inspectorate requirements on the plant health and forestry sides are well balanced in terms of supply versus demand of available resource, there is potential for some limited further recruitment ahead of October 2019. Recently finalised AAI & Forestry Inspector panels provide a key avenue from which further staff requirements could be drawn.

With respect to veterinary resources, 29 additional veterinary inspectors are required in the event of a hard Brexit, to be made up from internal redeployment and temporary contracted resources, drawing from a central pool of appropriately qualified PVP’s, already established. A Veterinary Inspector panel is nearing finalisation, and it will also be possible to draw from that in advance of 31st October if required.

The SFPA are obliged to carry out Illegal, Unreported, Unregulated (IUU) controls on imports of fish and fishery products. This work is expected to increase post-Brexit and require additional staff. An additional cohort of Sea Fisheries Protection Officers (SFPO) were recruited in the latter part of 2018 and in May 2019. It is anticipated that Brexit related hiring will continue in 2019 for SFPO and other grades.

A proportion of the staff already referenced will address both import and export requirements. Further additional Brexit related requirements for export certification will be dependent on any requirements set out by the UK. The UK has advised to date that it will require certification of commercial animals other than horses, plants and certain plant products (including timber and peat), following a no-deal Brexit. The UK has stated that it will not require certification of products of animal origin, other than those that currently require health certification such as germinal products.

Redeployment

Mechanisms to temporarily redeploy appropriately trained, experienced people within my Department have been initiated and will continue. This approach ensures that a balanced mix of new and experienced personnel will be available for Brexit-related duties when required. Temporary redeployment has advantages in that experienced staff are engaged and flexibility is facilitated in the short term. Importantly, the capacity to adapt to political developments is facilitated by such flexibility. In the longer term, should increased Brexit requirements persist, such staff as have been redeployed would need to return to their previous work areas or be backfilled to ensure business continuity, with further additional new staff being hired on a phased basis.

Contracted Services:

The potential for engagement of contracted temporary service arrangements, specifically in the veterinary discipline, has also been progressed to address contingencies. A dynamic purchasing system has been developed specifically with a view to procuring the services of appropriately qualified PVPs. A central pool has been established, numbering over 50 appropriately qualified PVPs. Further competitive processes for the locations in question are underway. A focus on two aspects will underpin efforts in this area; firstly, increasing the central pool of candidates and secondly, ensuring an adequate cohort are engaged, contracted and trained to address requirements for 31st October or as they evolve in light of developments.

It is important to note that staffing estimates are provided on the basis of a disorderly Brexit using the infrastructure that is expected to be available in Dublin and Rosslare ports in October. The development of additional bays in Terminal 10, in particular, has the potential to have a knock-on effect on the numbers of staff required, and this contingency is being actively examined. Estimates may also need to be revised in light of any new political developments or on foot of any changes to the UK’s requirements, particularly regarding export certification.

With regards to the status of Rosslare Port as raised by the Deputy, a Commission Implementing Decision of April 11th granted Rosslare approval as a border inspection post, conditional on the UK exiting the European Union and Union law no longer applying to or in the UK.

In the context of an initial uncertain period in the event of a no-deal Brexit, it will be necessary to carefully observe how operational arrangements with respect to staffing are bedding down. Furthermore, it will also be necessary to observe how a no-deal Brexit might evolve, given the ongoing potential staffing effects.

I remain confident that my Department is in a position to deliver the services required in terms of both imports and exports at the appropriate time.

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The Agricultural Support & Advisory Programme (ASSAP) is an innovative Government/industry initiative running from 2018 to 2021. It is a well structured, collaborative initiative, involving a range of stakeholders, including the wider community, to facilitate improvements in water quality. The ASSAP involves a resource of 30 Agricultural Sustainability Advisors, 20 of whom are funded by Government and 10 by the Dairy Industry. These Advisors will promote on-farm best practice to farmers in 190 ‘Areas for Action’, identified by the EPA, where the status of the water is at risk of deteriorating. Farmers can avail of this service within the ‘Areas for Action’ on a voluntary basis.

All advisors have now received comprehensive training from the EPA and Teagasc to ensure a common approach. The process of engagement with both the wider communities and with farmers in these areas is now well underway. Community meetings are taking place in the ‘Areas-for-Action’ to update people on developments in the local areas.

Projected expenditure for the 20 Sustainability Advisers and 3 Overhead Personnel being financed by Government are as follows -

	2019	2020	2021

Food Wise 2025 is a ten-year strategy agreed by a range of stakeholders, both public and private, and adopted by the Government as an overarching policy for the Irish agri-food sector. It underlines the agri-food sector’s unique and special position within the Irish economy and illustrates the potential for further development.

It is the latest in a series of strategies that are renewed every five years. These have been crucial in providing a coherent, joined-up way forward for all parts of the agri-food sector with broad stakeholder buy-in and regular reporting to a high level implementation committee.

Preparations for a new strategy to 2030 are underway. Its development will involve an analysis of a range of cross-cutting themes and the various sub-sectors of the agri-food industry, a formal public consultation and the establishment of a committee to develop the strategy.

I will very shortly be launching the public consultation element of the process.

The data on the Quality Assurance schemes have been requested from Bord Bia and will be forwarded to the Deputy when received by my Department.

In relation to the Climate Action Plan, my Department will promote and encourage all actions that will assist in reaching our GHG targets by 2030. Forty percent of the future CAP (2021-2027) budget will be directed at climate and environmental measures. However, this will not be enough in itself and market based incentives and regulation will also be necessary.

Ireland has an opportunity to become a global leader in actions on climate change. If we succeed in our ambition in this area, we will create a progressive and sustainable agricultural sector into the future.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 2112 to 2121, inclusive, together.

In 2018, Ireland exported dairy products to approximately 140 countries totalling over €4.5 billion worth of produce, an increase of over 5% by volume compared to 2017 and another year of strong performance by the Irish dairy sector. I expect this increase in exports of Irish dairy products to continue into the future with increasing emphasis on third country markets.

With regard to 2019, the following table, based on Central Statistics Office data, outlines details in respect of values and tonnage to the United Kingdom, broken down for Great Britain and Northern Ireland for dairy exports for year to May 2019, the most recent figures released by the CSO.
