Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry (Mr. Yates)

The Government made a decision on 26 July 1995 to relocate 350 Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry staff in new office premises to be constructed at Johnstown Castle, County Wexford.

In the Farmers' Charter launched by the Taoiseach in April 1995 there is provision for the building of a new local office for the Department in Enniscorthy and several other locations throughout the country.
