The Irish Farmers’ Association says the 44 percent drop in farm incomes confirmed by Teagasc today is a huge concern, particularly given the ongoing cost of living crisis.
It says “if we don’t have farmers, we don’t have food” and “this should be a wake-up call for the Government.”
IFA President Tim Cullinan adds both the “EU and the Government need a change direction and they need to start listening to farmers on the ground.”
