Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Independent Mink Farms: Discussion
Ms Una Heffernan:
We were supposed to be stopped in mink farming in 2012 but we got back in again. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine upped its game. It wanted the farms to be better equipped and updated. On our farm, we had to put up new houses to put up the two storeys. We had two farms. One farm was okay - we could do it - but on the second farm, we could not. We had to put up new houses. We have six new double houses.
