 We
are a major employer of postgraduate Walsh Fellowship

at any one time. A budget of €2.8 million per annum is
committed to the programme. There are up to 50 new
places each year with a grant of €21,000 per student.

Advisory and Training Service, which were merged to form
Teagasc, and a prime mover in developing agricultural
and food research in Ireland. For more details on
