Kilkenny stands to lose up to €87 million over seven years under proposed CAP cuts, with 200 rural jobs at risk.
Kilkenny IFA says NO to cuts. Protect our farmers and rural communities!

Kilkenny IFA brought their message to Kilkenny Mart today: “No CAP Cuts”.
Co. Kilkenny farmers stand to lose €12.4m every year from 2028 under the current CAP proposal, amounting to over €86.7m between 2028 and 2034.
Farmers cannot do more with less.

In my career I’ve had 3,527 rides and 543 winners. Two of those winners were dead-heats. Both dead-heats were with my brother Sean.

The current conflict in the Middle East is bringing the price of fertiliser into focus. IFA's Farm Business Chair @billokeeffe is warning that profiteering is not on as sufficient stocks already exist.

Farmers zoned for RZLT have until April 1st to apply for an exemption. It's important to check the updated maps and apply in good time, according to Farm Business Chair @billokeeffe.

This scandal just gets worse. It now turns out that the Chair's own company is not accredited under the Bord Bia’s Food Processor Standard QA scheme. Over 100 other food businesses in Ireland are in this scheme but the chair of bord bia’s company is NOT!!
Bill O Keeffe 🐄 retweeted
Larry Murrins company is importing beef that is competing with @Bordbia assured beef and chicken. The company was listed up to a few days ago as been accredited under the Bord Bia QAS. It would never have qualified for the scheme. The scandal grows by the day.
