Slattery claims IFA spirit diluted
Former Munster vice-president, John Slattery said there is increasing concern among farmers that the spirit behind the founding of the NFA and IFA for the betterment of farming families is being undermined by those who are equally, or more, occupied with personal achievement and benefit from their involvement.
He was speaking at a farmers’ meeting in Adare, Co Limerick, when he launched the broadside on the undesirable trend which he believed was emerging within the organisation.
