945. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the consultation or preparatory work he has undertaken to prepare for the possible holding of the National Ploughing Championships under continued public health restrictions. [23867/21]
View answerA decision regarding the hosting of major public events in the context of the current public health measures has not yet been made.
The National Ploughing Association runs the National Ploughing Championships and any decisions in relation to the 2021 event will be taken by that organisation, based on public health advice. My Department has provided a functioning office, offering services to our customers at the Ploughing Championships for many years.
Similar to other years, if this year's Championships do go ahead, the Department will observe all prevailing public health guidance necessary to keep our customers and staff safe.
