Up to 10-thousand people including hundreds from Tipperary are expected to march on the Dail later – in protest at European proposals which could see Ireland's CAP allocation slashed by as much as 30 percent.
The Irish Farmers Association says Ireland's CAP budget for the next 7 years is under serious pressure – and it's calling on the government to negotiate harder for Irish farmers.
Currently, the farming sector in Ireland gets 1.6 billion euro a year from the CAP budget – and the IFA wants that level maintained until 2020.
IFA President John Bryan says cutting Ireland's CAP allocation will result in job losses in the agri-sector.
