IFA outlines priorities to Leo Varadkar

One of the first submissions to new Taoiseach Leo Varadkar following his election yesterday was a 10-point priority list for agriculture from the Irish Farmers Association (IFA).

IFA president Joe Healy wished the new Taoiseach success in the role and said he is looking forward to working closely with him in the future.

“With the right support, our farming and food industry will continue to play a significant role in contributing to the national economy. Viable farm incomes are critical to underpinning the important agri-food industry,” he said.
