      Hi Geraldine,

      We are currently looking at the schedule for classes, but I think it will be early to mid-March. There is absolutely no fun going feeding pigs in current weather – it is just so so muddy out there! Will keep you posted when we finalise the date.

      Thank you for asking!

      Margaret

      Hi Gerard,

      We are still working with Bord Bia (in fact have a meeting tomorrow) to get a ‘free range’ standard implemented. However, if it is courses you are enquiring about… Bord Bia don’t approve those.
