IFA calls on Govt to tackle road and broadband in countryside
The Irish Farmers Association says the development of the rural economy is key to our economic recovery.
The farming group is publishing its manifesto for the local and European elections in Dublin later this morning.
Irish beef prices, CAP reform and the protection of food security across Europe are among some of the main areas of concern for the body.
The IFA says the lack of high-speed broadband across rural parts of the country and poor road infrastructure needs to be addressed.
The IFA also fears up to half of the country’s suckler cow herd could be lost if EU trade deals with the US and South America go ahead.
