ICSA chief outlines vision for future

The new president of the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association, Malcolm Thompson will outline his vision for the association's future at the AGM in Johnstown House Hotel, Enfield, Co Meath, on February 6.

General secretary Eddie Punch said the venue is especially appropriate as it is ten years since the ICSA was re-established in Enfield. It now represents 9,000 members.

Mr Punch said the past year has been highly successful as ICSA policy led the way for full decoupling of direct payments.
