Farmers to protest today over planned changes to farm payments

Farmers are set to protest today over planned changes to farm payments by the EU.

The European Commission is proposing to merge CAP into a single European fund.

Farming groups fear that this could mean the funding would no longer be ringfenced for agriculture and could be cut in the future.

Co-op groups and the Irish Farmers Association will be among those demonstrating outside the European Commission offices in Dublin today.
