Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Social Farming: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Helen Doherty:

The €800,000 is what our team of six people leveraged on top of the funding we get from the Department of agriculture. Some of the agriculture funding also makes its way onto farms because we use some of it for the initial placements, to set farms up and to help them with the initial couple of placements they may have. It does not all go to administration.
