Teagasc

Teagasc, also called the Agriculture and Food Development Authority, is the semi-state body for agri-food research, training and advice. It provides or arranges agricultural education and advisory services, supplies scientific and practical information to the industry, and carries out and coordinates research and development in agriculture and food processing.

It was established on 8 September 1988. Section 3 of the Agriculture (Research, Training and Advice) Act 1988 created Teagasc on the establishment day, and S.I. No. 183 of 1988 appointed that day. From that date it took over the functions of An Foras Talúntais and An Chomhairle Oiliúna Talmhaíochta, which were dissolved.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
