Over subscription at Mayo College offering course for Green Cert

The disruption seen in the Green Cert applications system for young farmers requires an immediate intervention by the Minister for Agriculture, according to Mayo Sinn Féin deputy Rose Conway-Walsh.
Earlier this week, up to 200 young farmers who had paid fees to do the Green Cert course at a Further Education College in Mayo were told that they had secured places on the course, but were informed later the same day that a mistake had been made.
Refunds have been issued but the problem is far from resolved. The prospective students now have no place.
