Question:24 Mr. McGrath asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the number of agriculture advisers employed by Teagasc for each of the last five years.
Written Answers. - Teagasc Advisers.
This is an internal matter for Teagasc but I am informed that the number of agricultural advisers employed for each of the past five years is as follows:
|
1986 |
453 |
|
1987 |
437 |
|
1988 |
374 |
|
1989 |
314 |
|
1990 |
300 |
I understand that the figures in my reply to a parliamentary question on 21 June 1990 include all personnel in Teagasc employed in the agricultural development officer grades some of whom are not engaged in advisory work.
