IFA lays out its election rules

A NINE-POINT code of conduct for the election of the next president and other national officers of the Irish Farmers Association (IFA) has been drawn up.

It sets out how candidates for the positions of president, deputy president and vice president should campaign between now and December.

John Dillon’s second two-year term of office as president concludes next January, but already the campaign to elect his successor is effectively underway.
