Pallaskenry Agricultural College, officially the Salesian Agricultural College,[1] is a private college which provides training for farmers, mechanics and salespeople for the agricultural and farm machinery industries. It is located in Pallaskenry, County Limerick, Ireland, and is owned and managed by the Salesian Fathers.[2] The college is co-located with Salesian Secondary College. The Salesians also previously ran an agricultural and horticultural college at Warrenstown College in County Meath.
The college runs courses in partnership with Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT), Teagasc, FETAC, HETAC, City & Guilds, Fás and Limerick VEC. Courses include an Advanced Certificate in Agriculture and an Advanced Certificate in Agricultural Mechanisation validated by FETAC, as well as a Higher Certificate in Technology in Agricultural Mechanisation validated by HETAC with LIT.[3]
The college farm, of over 220 hectares, has a dairy herd, milking parlour and a dairy shed.[4] There are also engineering and machinery workshops to facilitate the delivery of the college's machinery programmes.[4]
