Show Notes
Irish farmers, particularly in the West, express concern over a potential 20% cut to the Common Agricultural Policy budget. IFA Deputy President Alice Doyle deems the current proposal unacceptable, citing inflation and a disconnect between EU decisions and on-ground realities. Farmers like Galway IFA Chairman Micheál Haverty warn of budget shifts towards security and oppose blending direct payments with rural development funds. Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon extends public consultation on Irelands CAP priorities, giving more time for input. As EU talks progress, farmers aim to shape a fairer deal protecting incomes, food security, and rural life.
