All parties to blame for debt crisis, say farmers

FARMERS believe the current national economic crisis is the result of “a complete national failure”, according to a survey conducted for the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association (ICMSA).

Field work on the survey of 308 ICMSA members countrywide was conducted over the telephone by the market research company Behaviour and Attitudes between September 9 and 12.

The findings show the majority of participants (69%) believe all parties are responsible for the crisis. These include politicians, senior public servants, financial institutions, developers and others.
