Sheep News
The message for the government is that sheep farming is not a viable business to be in, independent TD for Galway East Sean Canney has said.
The €12 ewe payment under the new Sheep Improvement Scheme (SIS) has been acknowledged as being too small.
Sheep farmers took to the streets of Roscommon town today, Monday, February 13 in a protest organised by the IFA.
IFA Sheep Committee chair, Kevin Comiskey, has said today's protest highlighting the income crisis facing sheep farmers may not be enough.
