Events

As a recommendation of the National Hazardous Waste Management Plan 2021-2027 (NHWMP), DAFM and DCEE in conjunction with stakeholders are facilitating six Farm Hazardous Waste Collections to take place during November and December 2025. The locations for the 2025 collections include Clare, Meath, Cork, Tipperary, Mayo and Kerry. The collections follow the successful trial of farm hazardous waste collection days which took place in Wexford, Laois and Offaly in autumn of 2024.

Join Minister Healy-Rae to explore how forestry can support your land, your income, and your future. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and Teagasc Forestry Development Department are hosting four free information events in October and November 2025. Each event is run over an evening and opens with two short presentations followed by a conversation between Minister Michael Healy-Rae and a farmer discussing their forestry journey. You will also get an opportunity to talk to professional forestry staff on a one-to-one about your interest in forestry. These events are FREE and open to all.
