West Cork farmers who have been hit with penalties to their single farm and disadvantaged area payments will stage a peaceful protest at Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney’s office in Carrigaline next Saturday, November 29, at 10 am, organised by the West Cork Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association and the West Cork Communities Alliance.

A CLAIM by Agriculture and Food Minister Joe Walsh that there is too much negativity among farm leaders has been supported by one Cork farm leader and strongly rejected by four others.
