Padraig Walshe was IFA President from 2006-2010.

Construction has started on a Teagasc Centre named in honour of a former IFA President from Laois. 

The Padraig Walshe Centre is a €12 million project, for Sustainable Animal and Grassland Research. 

Mr Walshe was regarded as a passionate advocate for the development of the farming sector and always insisted that science was the way forward. 

The facility will feature state-of-the-art laboratory and animal metabolism facilities to support research aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient losses from grassland-based livestock systems.
