The Second World Deer Farming Congress was held in Ireland between 24 and 28
June 1998.
The Corporation supported three representatives from Australia to the Congress and
their report is enclosed. It provides a summary of all conference papers.
A major outcome of the Irish Conference was an agreement to establish an
International Deer Secretariat and an International Web site for the free exchange of

After this Congress, the opportunity was taken by one member of the Australian

available on request from the Corporation. A copy of the contents page of that report
is attached at the back of this publication.
