Record demand for Teagasc Green Cert

Around 1,100 people attended 27 Teagasc Green Cert course commencement events in December.

These were organised to facilitate the 2015 Young Farmer Scheme (YFS) and National Reserve (NR) scheme applicants.

The European Commission earlier clarified that this year’s YFS/NR scheme applicants needed to enrol in an approved agricultural programme in order to fulfil the conditions.
