Dairy
Since the expansion period began in Ireland for dairy, many people are concerned that too much debt is being put on the industry.
Opinion
Ireland does not have a divine right to produce all the milk it wants in the wake of dairy quotas being abolished.
The abolition of milk quotas in 2015 was a turning point for the Irish dairy industry, according to Teagasc's Dr. Pat Dillon.
The Voluntary Milk Reduction Scheme will not be made mandatory in the future, the Commissioner for Agriculture Phil Hogan has said.
