I raise the issue of planners under the green low-carbon agri-environment scheme, a matter on which I have been very parochial. I understand the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine raised an issue about the level of a qualification provided by Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology at Mountbellew Agricultural College. I am aware that meetings have taken place about the possibility of providing a two week add-on course. Has it been signed off on? The college cannot run the course until the Department states it has the go-ahead for it.
