Tillage farmers to stage Dáil protest over losses

Tillage farmers will stage a protest outside the Dáil today as part of a campaign to secure an aid package for growers who suffered severe weather-related losses in the last harvest.

IFA president Joe Healy has called on Agriculture Minister Michael Creed to provide funding of €4m for these farmers.

“There is no excuse for any further delay on this decision,” he told the IFA’s AGM in Dublin yesterday.
