Question 254: To ask the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will consider opening or relocating an agriculture office in east or north Cork to provide a service to the farmers there in view of the fact that the proposal to move all the staff at present working in Cork city to Macroom will necessitate a long journey through Cork city for farmers from the east and the north of the county; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer the Deputy to the Budget Statement of the Minister for Finance on decentralisation of this Department's Cork city staff to Macroom. I have no plans to open or relocate another office in Cork.
