I wish to request detail on the meetings (physical and virtual) that have been specifically held between the Department of Agriculture’s Nitrates Division and An Taisce since Ireland was granted a derogation to allow intensive farmers to operate at a higher stocking rate subject to compliance with DAFM rules in 2018. How many meetings (physical and virtual) have been held between DAFM’s Nitrates Division and An Taisce between 2018 and 2022? Can the minutes of each of these meetings between the two entities be supplied?
