Updates from UCD Department of Agriculture
We are writing to you to make you aware of some video resources recently developed at the UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science and available for all secondary school teachers and students of Agricultural Science.
Earlier this month in conjunction with AgriAware we hosted a virtual farm walk and talk event at UCD Lyons Farm. UCD Lyons Farm is a 250-hectare farm with dairy, beef, sheep, equine, crop, environmental research and teaching facilities located on the outskirts of Dublin.
Staff from the UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science who are experts in their field created six short educational videos on a range of topics relevant to the current Agricultural Science leaving certificate syllabus.
We are delighted to share these videos with you and hope that given the current circumstances we find ourselves in you will find these resources beneficial.
The videos developed are:
- Feeding the Dairy Cow
- Grassland Science
- Crop Science
- Animal Science – Equine
- Improving the Sustainability of Irish Sheep Production
- Health & Safety in Irish Agriculture
Videos are available to view through the links above or collectively on our YouTube Channel. If you would like a copy of any of the videos for download, we would be happy to make this available to you. Please email my colleague Valerie Abbott directly – valerie.abbott@ucd.ie.
Earlier this year the UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science also hosted a number of online information events. Each of the broadcasts featured academic staff and final year students and provide programme information and advice on a wide range of questions often asked by prospective students.

Careers in the Defense Forces
I have been contacted by the recruitment office in Defense Forces HQ and have been asked to bring the following advantages of a career in the DFs to the attention of students:
1. People who join the DF can advance their education through a number of streams within the DF; by doing Degrees and Masters with outside colleges through the DF.
2. They can use the DF as a spring board to gain work experience and then move onto other employment.
3. Anyone thinking of moving abroad could join the DF for a few years, complete an overseas tour of duty, and save money which could give them the finances to enjoy a new life in a different country.
4. Not only do we train recruits and cadets, the DF also train plumbers, carpenters, electricians, air traffic controllers, chefs and many more.
