Over 350 farmers attended last night’s meeting in Claremorris and there was very strong support from the floor for some of the fund to go to suckler farmers.

Speaking after the meeting IFA President Joe Healy said that during a robust debate, it was clear that finishers of prime cattle and sucklers should be the priority

Among the key principles being pushed by the IFA are that the payments are made quickly and directly to farmers, and that finished cattle sold in the marts must be included.
