Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Teagasc was established as a non commercial state agency under the Agriculture, (Research, Training and Advice) Act of 1988.

As the provision of professional indemnity insurance for Teagasc staff is an operational matter for Teagasc, I have referred the matter to them for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
