A push for action on a Brexit support package for beef farmers was hot on the agenda at a farm lobby group's meeting with Minister Creed.
Beef farmers have not seen "a single cent" of extra income from expanding agri-food exports as a result of Food Wise 2025.
The Irish beef sector "is in need of a rescue package" from Brussels and calls have been made for the Government to "push strongly" for this.
Agri-Business
Budget 2019 has not sufficiently addressed "serious inequality" for farmers paying tax as self-employed workers, according to Patrick Kent.
Teagasc needs to go back to the drawing board and look at the advice it offers for low-intensity farmers, ICSA President Patrick Kent has said.
