Farmers to hold rally in Bandon over nitrates derogation

Mr O'Leary said organisers are hoping for a crowd exceeding 500 people at the rally in Bandon, which is aiming to show Government and the European Commission the level of concern out there over this.
Farmers are planning to gather for a rally on Thursday night as concern continues to grow around a reduction in the nitrates derogation stocking rate.
Taking place in Bandon, Co Cork, from 7:30pm, the event is being organised by Cork branches of the Irish Farmers' Association.
