The Clare Chair of the Irish Farmers Association claims local producers must be protected in the coming year to keep rural Ireland alive. It follows a year of slow but sure recovery for the Agriculture industry, where output fertiliser and fuel costs have begun to fall, however the price for Irish beef has consistently fallen 30c per/kg below the prime export benchmark. Farmers meanwhile are still waiting for clarity on the EU's new five year STAR rating system which determines the price that cattle can be sold for. Parteen farmer Tom Lane says farmers need urgent reassurance for the year ahead.

Clare's IFA Chair is calling on the government to urgently revisit the compensation paid to farmers impacted by compulsory purchase orders. Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the Irish Farmers Association have reached a new agreement this week that would see landowners receive an additional fixed payment of €6,500 per acre for granting early access to developers. In the event that a farm building is demolished to facilitate a major project such as the construction of a road, the state will now have to fully cover any replacement costs. Parteen Farmer Tom Lane however believes the new measure doesn't go nearly far enough to address the disruption caused.

The Clare County Chair of the IFA has criticised the Minister for Agriculture's "unacceptable" delay in issuing income support to farmers across the country. Minister Charlie McConalogue has announced that advance payments are being issued to farmers under the Basic Income Support for Sustainability as well as the Complementary Redistributive Income Support for Sustainability schemes. The advance payments are worth over €452 million to 103,764 farmers and in Clare alone, 5,309 payments have been made which represents a total value of over €20 million. However, Clare County Chair of the Irish Farmers Association, Tom Lane says considering the pressure farmers are currently under, the payments should've come well in advance of this week.

The Irish Farmers Association represents seventy thousand farmers and producers. Every four years, they elect their President, who is one of the most influential players in Irish agriculture. Brendan Donohue was at the IFA hustings in county Kilkenny.

The Clare Chair of the Irish Farmers Association says they need more time to assess and implement sustainable farming technologies. The Enviornmental Protection Agency's latest report shows that agricultural emissions fell by 1.2% last year, despite a rise in herd numbers. The EPA has attributed the reduction to a marked decrease in nitrogen fertiliser use, with the product becoming virtually unattainable from the outset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ireland is still running behind on its goal of reducing agricultural emissions by 25% for 2030, with the prospect of introudcing a cow culling scheme under consideration by the Department of Agriculture. However Parteen farmer, Tom Lane believes the EPA 's report proves that climate goals can be met by adpating to alternative methods.

Just over a week ago Lidl announced that it was cutting the price of fresh milk. They were almost immediately followed by other big supermarkets and consumers were briefly the winners for once. But prices have not been retreating as fast as they went up last year when inflation soared to double digits.

One group that does not want to see prices fall is farmers and Tim Cullinane is the President of the Irish Farmers Association who spoke to Joe this morning.

Families who have been feeling the pinch in their shopping trollies will be delighted with the recent reductions in butter and milk which have come as some of the biggest supermarkets confirmed they will cut their prices Jonathan Healy was joined by Conor Pope, consumer affairs correspondent with the Irish Times and Tim Cullinan, President of the Irish Farmers Association to discuss...

The Irish Farmers Association has launched a nationwide campaign which will see farmers putting up 'No Dogs Allowed' posters on farm gates across the country. The organisation say it is an unprecedented step, in response to the rise in sheep attacks. They say a failure to put appropriate sanctions in place to punish the irresponsible and reckless behaviour of some dog owners means the only way to protect ewes that will be lambing in the coming weeks is to stop the threat at source and refuse all dog walkers access to their lands.
