IFA South Tipp Chair Pat Caroll told Tipp FM what people can expect from the meeting:
“Our Tipperary President, Tim Cullinan, he will be answering questions and giving a presentation on where things are at this point in time. There’s a lot of issues and a lot of changes in agriculture. To mention a few: environment is a paying a huge part – the views and discussions on it. There are a lot of changes coming down from that point of view and from policy changes.
“The IFA are playing a huge part and a huge role in that policy and to reduce the amount of effect on the farmers out there on the ground, but also help to improve and fix our environment.”
