‹ Order of Business Pillar 2 co-funding for farmers
Summary
Senator MacSharry presses for debate and adequate Pillar 2 co-funding, warning that insufficient support would damage small farmers and Ireland’s beef-export industry.
Frankly, this is an issue that is of huge importance for the small farmers in the north west, who remain the engine room in terms of the production of weanlings, which is such a huge part of the beef export market.
Comment on this
If we do not get adequate funding, this will put in jeopardy our beef export business into the future.
