Concern over lack of information on off-farm investments, says IFA

THERE is considerable anxiety among some farmers over the lack of adequate information on off-farm investments, the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) claimed yesterday.

Deputy President Eddie Downey urged all promoters to ensure that people are kept fully informed of the status and performance of their investments.

“Some farmers who have contacted the IFA feel they have been kept in the dark and denied transparency, particularly where investments may have to be restructured,” he said.
