Farmers welcome dairy and pig sector aid packages from EU and Department of Agriculture

Pat McCormack, Deputy President and chairperson of the ICMSA dairy committee, said that the revised €27.4m aid package was a welcome injection of funds into an industry that is suffering substantially due to continued low milk prices.
Ireland South MEP, Deirdre Clune said this flat rate payment will help many farmers through the current price volatility they’re facing.
