DAIRY Farming: Michael Healy Rae T. D., said: “Rural Ireland has depended on the family dairy farm system that built Ireland’s multi-billion euro dairy system with so much of the run-off income spilling into the local economies throughout Ireland. “Dairy farmers, many of them carrying on a tradition and a family way of life, simply cannot take another body blow.
“Farmers always faced challenges face on and implemented and changed, but the constant blow after blow from this government and especially parts of it who seem to be very ‘anti farming,’ are putting people at a crossroads.”
