Vol. 527 No. 3

Written Answers. - Agricultural Training Courses.

Austin Deasy

Ceist:

56 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if he will allow a training allowance for new entrants into farming which would provide young people with an allowance at a level equivalent to £150 per week, for a period of up to three years while participating in approved agricultural training courses. [28454/00]

Statutory responsibility for the provision of agricultural training rests with Teagasc. Funding for that purpose is provided to Teagasc and it is a matter for that body to decide on the financial assistance to be made available for students undertaking agricultural training.
