The Report of the Advisory Committee on the Role of Women in Agriculture was launched on 27 September 2000.
The report contains 36 recommendations, covering a broad area which includes education and training, information technology and social inclusion. Some 18 of these recommendations have been identified as falling within the remit of my Department. The recommendations are being examined individually and appropriate action will be taken in the shortest possible time.
