There is a shortage of ecologists within the Department of Agriculture.

With the Leaving Cert results out next Friday, students across Ireland will be looking forward to choosing their college courses. The Dealer reckons they could do worse than select ecology as a course option, given the likely boom in that career as a result of Ireland having to do more and more assessments on habitats to comply with EU laws.
Such is the shortage of ecologists within the Department of Agriculture, that they’ve had to draft in super subs from Teagasc.
The highly regarded Daire Ó hUallacháin, a researcher in farmland ecology based in Moorepark, has been seconded to the Department four days a week since last April. The Dealer hears he’s working on the Department’s plan to retain the nitrates derogation.
