A newly updated handbook has been released to provide farmers with clear, consolidated information regarding the various grants, services, and regulatory supports currently available. Developed through a collaboration between Teagasc and the Citizens Information Board, the document serves as a centralised reference point for those navigating the complexities of modern agricultural life.
The publication addresses a broad spectrum of requirements, ranging from initial education and training programmes to the intricacies of farm succession planning and retirement. It is designed to act as a comprehensive roadmap, ensuring that both business owners and employers can easily locate information on taxation, social welfare, and specific government schemes tailored to their needs.
Minister for Social Protection, Dara Calleary TD, officially introduced the guide during the National Ploughing Championships 2026, where he was joined by Teagasc Director Professor Frank O’Mara and Chairperson Liam Herlihy. The resource is now available for download on the official Citizens Information and Teagasc websites, providing a reliable reference for farmers seeking to streamline their administrative and financial planning.
