'Crisis state' of sheep sector the focus of meeting as farmers continue to push for support

The ICSA described the sector as being "in crisis state", however, despite this, Government has been "very stubborn up to now" on bringing forward a support package. 

Sheep farmers who are at their "wits' end" and are "just trying to keep going" will bring their concerns to a sector 'crisis meeting' in Carrick-on-Shannon on Tuesday night.

Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association sheep chair Sean McNamara has called for all those "who care about the future" of sheep farming to attend the event.
