Macra news: Package needed to access low-cost credit

The newly elected president of Macra na Feirme, James Healy, has called on Agriculture Minister Michael Creed to put together a package of measures and incentives “specifically for young farmers including further access to low cost credit to help ensure they can continue to grow and expand their agriculture enterprises despite the current volatility and be ready for the post-Brexit era”.

He made the comments as part of his inauguration speech at the Macra AGM in Co Leitrim last weekend.
