Covid-19 (Agriculture, Food and the Marine): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-17
============================================================

Charlie McConalogue (FF), Donegal

Government Deputies and Senators in County Mayo and other counties have been in touch with me directly raising this issue and they are very much aware of it. Obviously, I am not in a position today to give any guarantees around that but I have clearly outlined, as I have to Government Deputies who have raised this with me directly, that I am engaged with Teagasc. I understand the position relating to the demand for young farmers to become trained and to avail of green cert courses. We are keen to try to ensure demand is met. I will continue to engage with Teagasc on the matter.
