Ending of milk quotas will harm our health and environment

Meath IFA chairman, Eddie Bannon, says that we need 300,000 more cows to fulfill our emerging milk markets.

That means 300,000 more calves per year, and, over 10 years, three million creatures reared to be slaughtered. It means more methane, pollution, problems with our waters, and fewer woods, lanes and wild places.

This means less wildlife, beauty, nature and tourism.
