Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The details requested by the Deputy in relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department (the National Milk Agency, Coillte and Bord Iascaigh Mhara) are a matter for the individual bodies. I have referred the Deputy’s question to the State bodies and have requested that a response should issue within 10 days.

Neither the State Laboratory nor Horse Sport Ireland are state agencies under the aegis of my department.
