Future of dairy farmers livelihoods at risk

Farmers are looking for a special task force to secure the future of the dairy sector in the wake of the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy.

The IFA says the deal puts the livelihoods of 10,000 dairy farmers at risk, especially in the west and north.

President John Dillon is seeking an urgent meeting with the Taoiseach to discuss the impact of the reforms on the dairy sector.
