Bord Glas becomes part of Bord Bia

THE merger of Bord Glas with Bord Bia is effective from today, following a Government decision and the enactment of legislation.

It means that Bord Glas, which was set up in 1990, has now been dissolved and all of its existing functions transferred to the larger Bord Bia.

A statutory horticulture subsidiary board with a chairperson and 12 members is to be set up. The interests of the horticultural sector will be also represented on Bord Bia's main board.
