Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I wish to inform the Deputy that this is an operational matter for the twelve State Bodies under the aegis of my Department. Accordingly I have referred the Deputy's question to the agency for direct reply.

In accordance with the new procedures effective September 2016, as notified by the Clerk of the Dáil, my Department has provided contact details for all of our agencies. Details of dedicated email addresses for State Bodies are available for Oireachtas members through the Clerk of Dáil Éireann.
