Clare IFA Warns Cheap Food Production "Impossible" Under New CAP Plans

The Clare branch of the Irish Farmers Organisation is warning new Common Agricultural Policy proposals will make cheap food production "impossible."

Farming organisations from across Europe have gathered on Cardiff Lane in Dublin today to protest against a planned €2.4bn cut to the EU Budget.

The IFA estimates it will remove €13m worth of funding from Clare farmer's alone.

Clare IFA Chair Stephen Walsh who's attending the demonstration has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan its vital farms won't operate without adequate funding.
