IFA President, Ballinakill's Francie Gorman says CAP funding is crucial to Irish farming.
The IFA President is calling on the Taoiseach to back Irish farmers in upcoming negotiations and secure a strong CAP Budget.
This follows a Berlin meeting last week of leaders from six EU Member States, who called for major EU spending cuts and closer alignment between contributors and beneficiaries.
Under the European Commission’s proposed 2028-2034 EU budget, Ireland’s Common Agricultural Policy funding would be cut by around €2.54 billion, or 24%.
