Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
2082. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will examine the charges levied for entrance to the Johnstown Castle Estate in County Wexford; his views on whether entry to this publicly owned park should be free of charge, similar to other public parks; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40285/22]
View answerJohnstown Castle Estate transferred to Teagasc - the Agriculture, Food and Development Authority under the “Agriculture (Research, Training and Advice) Act” of 1988 following the dissolution of An Foras Talúntais. My Department has no role in relation to the operation of the Estate.
Accordingly, as the question raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for Teagasc, it has been referred to the body for direct reply.
