Coveney urged to take action on farm schemes
Such is the view of the Irish Farmers Association, whose president Eddie Downey, who said it was vitally important outstanding schemes are now implemented.
“It is now up to Mr Coveney to ensure that farmers have access to all schemes under the RDP,” he said. IFA Rural Development Committee chairman Flor McCarthy said clarification on land eligibility must be immediately sorted out as there is a lot of uncertainty among farmers who want to avail of both Pillar I and Pillar II schemes in 2015.
