Farmer and Animal Welfare Network launched

The primary aim of FAWN is to help identify and address animal welfare issues and to prevent a deterioration in any difficult situation.

Animal welfare is increasingly important to Irish citizens.

A new Farmer and Animal Welfare Network (FAWN) has been launched.

This initiative sees the fulfilment of a commitment in the Department of Agriculture's Animal Welfare Strategy 2021-2025, with the renewal and rebranding of what had previously been the Early Warning System.
