The Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction [DATI], which began work in 1900, determined that the problems with the development of agriculture in Ireland would be better addressed through higher education and a Faculty of Education was established at the College of Science (Albert College, Glasnevin).

The responsibilities of the DATI included animal disease, regulating markets & fairs, fisheries, etc. It educated farmers by organising classes given by qualified instructors & producing leaflets on various farming topics. After independence in 1922, the Department of Agriculture took over the functions of the DATI .
