Teagasc set to close Dunmanway office

TEAGASC is planning to close its office in Dunmanway, according to Cork South West Fine Gael TD Jim O’Keeffe.

He said the office provides vital advisory services to at least 260 farmers in a wide catchment area and its closure would be a major loss.

Farmers need all the expert advice and help necessary, particularly at this time in order to cope with the changes in agriculture and new regulations relating to nitrates and other issues.
