Clare farmers to lobby gov. after budget talks fail

Ireland holds the Presidency of the EU for the first half of next year, but it’s now feared that any chance to use this leverage to gain a strong deal will be lost as a result of the delay.

Chair of the IFA in Clare Andrew Dundass feels it’s an issue of importance to the wider Irish population, and not just farmers.
