The engagement by our Co-op members to date has been very constructive and positive. Tirlán chief executive Seán Molloy commended the huge number of on-farm actions taken by farm family suppliers, supported by their Co-op, to enhance water quality and future-proof their family-based enterprises. “I am delighted to confirm that Tirlán has worked with our Co-op members and submitted Farming For Water European Innovation Partnership (EIP) funding applications to the value of €6m. "This has helped fund practical measures that will make a direct impact on water quality. Tirlán Co-op members are now encouraged to review their EIP applications and ensure measures applied for are implemented on-farm.
