Farmers across Cork are to protest at Monday's County Council meeting.
The protest is part of the IFA’s ‘Enough is Enough’ campaign which aims to highlight farmers' frustration and anger at regulations being imposed on them.
Farmers say the over-regulation and over-complicated schemes are adding extra costs at a time when the expense of doing business has rocketed.
Conor O'Leary of the IFA in Cork says farmers are at breaking point and need additional supports.
"We are looking at now new expenditure at the nitrates, we expect there will be a new range of measures that we will have to undertake, and farmers will have to borrow for this.
"We are looking now for certainty. We are looking for a seven or eight year period, where there will be no further change. Why do people pay the new expenditure that is going to come at them?"
