Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Forest Strategy Implementation Plan: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Mr. Barry Delany:

Apologies, Senator it is a knowledge transfer group. With regard to Moorepark, Teagasc has planted the native tree area scheme in Moorepark and is hoping to have a number of open days in order to show dairy farmers what is possible. They have planted the riparian strip by the stream at the back of the buildings and have planted a block as well. To see that in action will be exactly the point when Teagasc has the open day. The Department will try to have a presence at Grange when it has its open day. It is having a presence at the dairy, tillage and beef shows as well. The Department is putting resources towards that and is working closely with Teagasc to really promote that.
