Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

There are twelve State Bodies under the aegis of my Department, of these, eight receive funding from my Department.  As the information sought by the Deputy is not routinely collected I have asked the State Bodies concerned to supply the information sought directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.

The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
