Teagasc weighs up options for a central office

THE continued involvement of Teagasc is key to the survival of the James O’Keeffe Memorial Institute in Newmarket.

Gerard Murphy, TD, made the claim as Teagasc confirmed it is considering two options for the location of a central office in the Duhallow region, where it has three, based in Newmarket, Kanturk and Millstreet.

Teagasc is the anchor tenant of the Institute in Newmarket, named in honour of the late James O’Keeffe, who gave a lifetime of service to rural people.
