Excluding the net deferred funding for pensions, Teagasc’s income in 2015 was €175m, €10m higher than the previous year. The main sources of this increase come from research and knowledge transfer.
Research income increased by €4.3m (17%), with €3.5m coming from externally funded projects. Teagasc Knowledge Transfer Directorate income went up by €5.5m (34%), which was made up of €3.8m in additional advisory services income and a €1.8m rise in education income.
“2015 was an extremely busy year for Teagasc in its research, advisory and education functions,” said Dr Noel Cawley, chair, speaking at the publication of the Teagasc Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2015. “That high level of output has continued into the current year, as we work closely with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and other partners in the sector to achieve the objectives of the Food Wise 2025 Strategy for the industry.”

Director of Teagasc, Gerry Boyle, added that “the Technology Foresight exercise commenced in 2015 and was completed and published in 2016. This report identified the critical technologies likely to have the greatest influence on Irish agriculture and food industry between now and 2030. It is already shaping the future direction of agriculture and food research in Teagasc and collaborating institutions.”
