IFA has not stopped public access

DAMIEN ENRIGHT’S column on hill walking (Irish Examiner, September 27) contains a number of inaccuracies and clearly ignores the right of Irish citizens to their own property.

Mr Enright’s assertion that IFA has stopped people from accessing land is certainly not true.

IFA has consistently stated that farmers have no problem in people accessing land provided they seek the permission of the landowner.
