Specify the function of the party disclosing data to which the purpose (as defined in table 2.3) of the data sharing relates ii. Specify the function of the party receiving data to which the purpose (as defined in table 2.3) of the data sharing relates. PARTY FUNCTION i. Bord Bia DAFM will disclose the herd/flock/producer numbers which are linked to the owner (farmer). This will indicate who has applied for the DAFM programme/scheme. Bord Bia will disclose the QAe Scheme membership status to DAFM which is associated with the herd/flock/producer number provided. Both parties will be disclosing data. However, the purpose of the data being sent from DAFM to Bord Bia is to facilitate the administration of DAFM Schemes. Bord Bia may prioritise audits for entry to, or maintenance of membership to, its QA Schemes but this is solely to ensure that eligibility for DAFM Schemes is not being hindered by Bord Bia. Bord Bia administers its own Schemes in accordance with the An Bord Bia Act 1994, as amended, in order to fulfil its statutory purpose in line with Section 7 of the Bord Bia (Amendment) Act 2004. ii. DAFM DAFM will receive the QA Scheme membership status from Bord Bia associated with the herd/flock/producer number. This will be used to verify the eligibility of the applicant to DAFM Schemes where a criterion is Bord Bia QA Scheme membership. DAFM beef schemes are currently operated under the following legal bases: EU Regulations 2021/2115 & 2021/2116, and the Ministers and Secretaries Act 1924. (Additional schemes may be added in the future at the discretion of the Minister and in consultation with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.)
