Written answers

I have had several opportunities to visit co Kildare since taking on the post as Minister of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Kildare is a vibrant agricultural county with excellent farmers across all types and systems. It is also an important hub for the equine industry. My Department's flagship laboratory complex is in Backweston, Co Kildare, and I have visited on a number of occasions.  I look forward to future visits in the coming years.
