IFA’s strength in numbers

WITH six months still to go in a four year term, IFA President John Dillon and his team can look back with pride on a job well done.

With some of the most powerful world leaders opposing European farmers led by UK Prime Minister Tony Blair from within and US President George Bush from outside, it’s a huge challenge to advance the cause of farmers in an EU member state.

But IFA have not been found wanting, and as usual, set the pace for other EU farmers’ organisations.
