Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 February 2017
221. Deputy Eamon Scanlon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 255 of 15 February 2017, if he will ensure that the green cert courses will continue past the 2017-2019 timeframe he has outlined; if he will provide a list of locations in which green cert courses will be delivered in 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8941/17]
View answerThe Green Cert is the core education programme delivered by Teagasc education staff and will continue to be offered on an annual basis as heretofore. The scheduling of Green Cert courses is an operational matter for Teagasc. I understand that Teagasc is currently making arrangements to schedule courses for the current academic year. As the list of locations is not currently finalised, Teagasc will forward it to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
