Policy and Research Officer
Overview of the Agri-Food Regulator An Rialálaí Agraibhia (Agri-Food Regulator) is an independent statutory Office established in December 2023 under the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Act 2023. The Agri-Food Regulator is concerned with promoting fairness and transparency in the agri-food supply chain. Its statutory remit and focus is on business-to-business relationships within the supply chain. The 2023 Act assigns two main areas of work to the Regulator: (a) the enforcement of unfair trading law in business-to-business relationships in the agri-food supply chain. Under the 2023 Act, the Agri-Food Regulator has been designated as the Enforcement Authority for the purposes of Directive (EU) 2019/633 of 17 April 2019 on unfair trading practices in business-to-business relationships in the agricultural and food supply chain. To coincide with the establishment of the new Office, the Unfair Trading Regulations (SI 625 of 2023) were introduced and, from that date, the provisions of SI 198 of 2021 introduced as part of the initial transposition of the Directive into Irish law were revoked. The Unfair Trading Regulations provide legal protection against 16 specific unfair practices for any supplier of agri-food products subject to their annual turnover being lower than the buyer's turnover once the buyer’s annual turnover is greater than €2m. (b) the collection, analysis and publishing of reports on price and market data relating to the agricultural and food supply chain in the State and to publish regular analysis and reports on contingency issues regarding the agricultural and food supply chain. Following a request from the Board of the Agri-Food Regulator, new regulations granting the Agri-Food Regulator the power to compel the provision of price and market information from businesses were signed by Martin Heydon TD, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine on 16th December 2025. The new Regulations (SI 629/2025) have been published. Under these Regulations, the Regulator will have the ability to compel information impacting upon price and margins from a business within the agri-food supply chain in cases where that business has not complied with a request for information voluntarily. Background to the Legal and Research Unit As the Agri-Food Regulator continues to develop and expand its statutory functions, there is a growing need to strengthen research capacity to support effective regulation, enforcement and policy development. The Regulator is therefore establishing a new Legal and Research Unit, combining legal advisory and research functions during the organisation’s current phase of growth, with the expectation that these functions may evolve into standalone units over time. Among the responsibilities of this new Unit are to: • oversee the development, implementation and oversight of buyer guidelines. • assist in the preparation of various reports as the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Act 2023 requires. • assist in the ongoing development and execution of annual supplier surveys, including the design of survey methodology, analysis of results and the identification of areas for improvement. • undertake or commission research and analysis. • report and make recommendations in relation to policy matters or proposals for legislative change. Roles As part of the development of this new Unit, the Regulator is looking to recruit two Policy and Research Officers who will be tasked with progressing the development, implementation, and oversight of the responsibilities outlined above. The roles will play a key part in translating data, insights, and regulatory objectives into clear, practical guidance for businesses and stakeholders. The positions will combine policy development, research, operational management and stakeholder engagement, while supporting a culture of continuous learning, ethical practice and innovation across the organisation. As the roles evolve, the Policy and Research Officers will help shape emerging processes, contribute to quality assurance and represent the Regulator at external events and forums. The successful candidates will report to the Head of Legal and Research and may have at least one staff member reporting to them, depending on how the work of the organisation evolves. The posts are located at the Government Campus, Backweston, Celbridge, Co. Kildare. The successful candidates must have access to their own transport and should have a full, clean driving licence given that some domestic travel is envisaged with possible overnight stays. It is intended to create a panel from this competition from which appointments may be made to further vacancies within the Legal and Research Unit as well as to similar roles across the organisation. Any panel established under this competition will remain in place for 18 months. Inclusion on a panel does not confer a right to appointment. Candidates not appointed before the panel expires or is exhausted will have no entitlement to appointment thereafter. Role and Responsibilities Responsibilities of these roles include but are not limited to: • Coordinating the development and implementation of buyer guidelines based on stakeholder engagement and consultation in addition to analysis of available data and insights. • Managing the conducting and continual enhancement of both annual and once-off surveys and other research activities as they arise. • Developing the research function of the organisation and identifying opportunities to contribute to the various functions of the Regulator. • Contributing to the organisation through effective and efficient operational management of assigned functions within the Unit. • Contributing to the communication efforts of the Unit and broader organisation with a broad range of stakeholders, particularly with respect to the regulatory framework and general approach to buyer guidelines and possible codes of practice submitted by businesses. • Actively participating in the building of a culture of continuous learning and innovation across the organisation. • Representing the Regulator at stakeholder events – travel nationally is envisaged with the potential for overnight travel. • As a new role at the Regulator, undertake additional duties (relevant to the role and/or skill sets required) that emerge as the role establishes within the organisation. Note: The above is a general guide to the key duties and responsibilities of the role and is not an exhaustive description.
