Pat Daly has been farming near Clonmacnoise for four decades.
An Offaly farmer says his livelihood is being threatened by regularly flooding.
Pat Daly - who's been farming near Clonmacnoise for 40 years - is calling for proper management of the River Shannon, to prevent the rapid rise in water levels whenever there's heavy rain.
