IFA holding regional rallies to 'Save Irish Farming'

Cavan is nearest meeting point

This Friday, 8th October, the Irish Farmers Association (IFA) is holding four regional rallies to highlight what it says is how the Government is pursuing policies that will decimate Ireland's largest indigenous sector.

The rallies will be led by the IFA president. Tim Cullinan, and the locations signify the scale of the sector across the rural economy.

Mr Cullinan stated: "For the last two years, IFA has tried to engage with Government on the sector's future. Despite this, it continues to treat us as low-hanging fruit that it can target without impunity. At the same time, it's rolling out the red carpet for energy-guzzling multinationals and allowing food, peat, and timber to be imported from less efficient countries in Europe and further afield".

The rallies are taking place as follows:
