Teagasc is a non commercial State body, established in 1988, under the Agriculture (Research, Training and Advice) Act, chiefly to provide advisory, research and training services to the farming and agri-food sector.

As the matter raised is an operational matter for Teagasc, I have arranged to forward the relevant information to the Director of Teagasc for his attention and direct reply to the Deputy as soon as possible.
