No direct support for full time employment of an agricultural adviser by Reenascreena Development Co-operatives is available from moneys at the disposal of my Department, nor as far as I am aware from local or EEC sources. However the county committees of agriculture have statutory responsibility for provision of agricultural advisory services and allocate their staff in accordance with local needs.
