Agricultural employment in Donegal

Summary

Conaghan cited a fall of 11,000 agricultural jobs in Donegal and asked about developing the report’s agricultural recommendations. The Ceann Comhairle ruled the question outside the industrial-zones topic.

Is the Minister aware that agricultural employment in Donegal over the past five years has fallen by 11,000? Has he any plans or have any approaches been made to develop the recommendations contained in the report regarding agriculture in order to create employment?

We have moved away from the report, Deputy, and are dealing with industrial zones.

That supplementary would have related to the last question rather than this.
