FOI Requests — 1,568 records (page 15 of 32)
- Received 30 August 2021Decided —RefusedDepartment of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
My FOI request relates to a Sunday Times article about XXXX XXXX XXXX in May in which the department said that it 'is looking at rules that require grantors to take “a proactive approach to ensuring that the terms and conditions for grants are appropriate to the local conditions in the sector in which they operate, while ensuring effective management and accountability of public money”. Organisations receiving grants must show effective use of funds and “avoidance of waste and extravagance”. I am seeking evidence of how this due diligence has been applied to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I asked your Livestock Breeding Unit a similar question in FOXXXX however, like your team, they have no awareness of what DAFM's senior officials were referring to in the article. Therefore, either the due diligence regime referred to in the article does not exist and is bogus, or the FOI responses are bogus. The implication of the department officials' use of the term 'grantors' is that there is a standard approach that is not specific to XXX XXX XXX XXX grants or those overseen by the Livestock Breeding Unit, hence my broader, more general request to you below. However, at a very basic and simplistic level, it's up to the department to tell me what regime those officials were referring to and it's up to the department to provide me with records which show that regime has in fact been applied to XXXX XXXX XXXX, as DAFM officials claimed in the article.

Any audit of Independent Milk Laboratories, located at XXX, XXX, Co XXX in relation to their Milk testing for payment purposes. Specifically, I would firstly like to know the number of times this facility has been audited by DAFM/NMA since 2014, and the access to any audit reports completed by DAFM/NMA on this facility since 2014. Secondly, I would like the disclosure of any fines, penalties or warnings and/or guidelines for improvement issued to them as a result of any audit by DAFM/NMA. These may be in the form of 'yellow' or 'red' cards. I would also like to know what other companies, foreign or domestic, may have assisted or partnered DAFM/NMA with these Audits. Thirdly, I would like to know if any penalties, fines or other monetary charges which were issued to any milk supplier, were issued wrongly as a result of incorrect tests done by this facility, including if tests carried out on milk samples were outside an industry standard tolerance, machine calibration or procedure such as any ISO/IDF standard. I would like to know if the lab is issuing results for milk tests it is not accredited to carry out by INAB such as ones for colostrum or water content. Furthermore, I would like to know if the sample sizes this lab uses to test Milk Suppliers milk reaches the recommended sample size of 100ml taken from farms to the lab as per ISO 707 and if this single sample is a large enough size to conduct all tests this lab carries out on milk testing for payment purposes. Finally, Any certification or training required by milk transport hauliers to collect and transport raw milk from milk suppliers, i.e. dairy farmers farm yard, to milk processing facilities, i.e. co-ops. I request this information as the average haulier transports 2 loads of milk from farm yards to the co-ops from a radius 100km on average each day. This equates to roughly 52 thousand litres of raw milk a day. Multiplying this figure by 250 days, the average worked by each haulier per year, this equates to 13 million litres of milk transported by each individual haulier in the year. At an average milk price of 33.5 cents a litre, this equates to 4.355 million euros worth of quality product produced by Irish dairy farmers. Furthermore, I would like access to the number of annual inspections and type of inspections carried out of these hauliers by DAFM/NMA.
