Farmers surprised as Kent resigns from ICSA

Patrick Kent has stepped down from his role as ICSA president, having been named by Independents 4 Change South of Ireland MEP candidate Mick Wallace on his replacement list.

Mr Kent’s decision to step down from Ireland’s third largest farmer organisation has surprised farming circles as Mr Wallace, in Dáil debates, has called for the scaling back of the beef and dairy sectors to reduce Ireland’s carbon emissions.
