I’m finding it hard to keep up with the changing faces in Teagasc Kilkenny. I understand in 2018 John Moloney, the then Waterford-Kilkenny area manager, or the term county agricultural officer (CAO) which I’m more comfortable with, retired after a long career with Teagasc.
Siobhán Kavanagh was then appointed to the post after moving from her post in Wexford-Wicklow. Then Siobhán left to join the Signpost programme. In July, Teagasc announced that Pat Moylan was to be the new Kilkenny-Waterford area manager, but, seemingly never took up the position.
Now, I hear Richie O’Brien has been appointed area manager leaving his role in the Teagasc Glanbia joint programme.
