Thousands of farmers took part in a series of protests around the country today in one of the largest coordinated protests since the onset of the Covid pandemic.
The IFA organised ‘Day of Action’ took place to highlight the organisation's concerns over CAP post-2020 funding and the environmental measures being introduced as part of the Climate Bill.
