The Green Cert is the core education programme delivered by Teagasc education staff and will continue to be offered on an annual basis as heretofore. The scheduling of Green Cert courses is an operational matter for Teagasc. I understand that Teagasc is currently making arrangements to schedule courses for the current academic year. As the list of locations is not currently finalised, Teagasc will forward it to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
