Ex-IFA president John Donnelly urges resignations of executive board members

A former president of the Irish Farmers Association (IFA) has urged the organisation’s entire executive board to resign immediately.

John Donnelly, who was IFA president between 1994 and 1998, said the current deputy president, the national treasurer, and all four regional chairmen should step down.

He is the first former leader of the organisation to speak out about the recent controversy over pay levels.
