Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said the agri-food sector deserves huge praise for keeping supply chains open during the pandemic and Brexit.

“Challenges lie ahead, but this government has an ambitious strategy to support farming communities, creating both jobs and sustainability,” said the Taoiseach in his address to today’s IFA’s 66th AGM, which for the first time in the Association’s history, was held remotely, via online means.
