The bill to establish an agri-food regulator in Ireland will progress on Thursday when Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue introduces the second stage debate on the bill in the Dáil.
The Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill provides for the establishment of the new independent statutory body, An Rialálaí Agraibhia, or Agri-Food Regulator, which will promote fairness and transparency in the agricultural and food supply chain.
