Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mary Coughlan)

My Department has not engaged the services of models for use in departmental promotional activities. As far as the State agencies which come under the aegis of my Department are concerned, any such arrangements are day to day operational matters which are the responsibility of the agencies concerned.
