IN 2015, the then Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) Simon Coveney implemented ‘Reaching New Heights 2015-2025’.

The ‘Reaching New Heights’ plan required strong leadership for its implementation, clear and concise lobbying of government, and the age old story of sufficient money to make it all happen.
