Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has recently redesigned its website and it can be accessed through the www.gov.ie portal. The site provides an up to date contact list covering all areas of the Department's responsibility.
Deputies can also direct their queries to my own office and the matter will then be directed to the relevant official for attention. For queries on scheme payments, many Deputies already use our Oireachtas Liaison Unit. The Unit, which provides a quick turnaround on constituents’ queries in relation to payment schemes such as BPS, GLAS, ANC etc., is available only to Oireachtas members and can be contacted at oireachtas@agriculture.gov.ie.
For an overview of the Department, information on each of the areas for which our Senior Managers have responsibility is available on the home page of our website and also on the Who Does What website which is a public record of Assignment of Responsibilities under the Public Service Management Act 1997.
