Hill farmers are in limbo over stock levels on commonage, insists IFA
Speaking ahead of a meeting in Tuam, Co Galway, last night, IFA Hill Committee chairman Pat Dunne said this issue, combined with the serious practicalities of the implementation of the proposed 50% commonage agreement, is leading to much anger among hill farmers.
He called on Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney to get the Commonage Implementation Group up and working without delay as farmers are in the dark about their position in the run-up to the implementation of the new CAP for both Pillar I and Pillar II in 2015.
