CAP supports farm incomes, food production, rural communities and environmental objectives.
Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Martin Heydon TD, is announcing the launch of a public consultation on the future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post-2027.
The consultation will be open for four weeks, until Friday, 20 March 2026, and will provide stakeholders and members of the public with an opportunity to contribute to Ireland’s position on the next CAP.
Announcing the consultation, Minister Heydon said: “The Common Agricultural Policy remains a cornerstone of European food production and rural life. It supports farm incomes, underpins food security, and plays a vital role in sustaining rural communities and delivering environmental and climate objectives.”
“As discussions on the future CAP gather pace, it is important that Ireland’s position is informed by the views and experiences of farmers, rural communities and the wider public.”
In July 2025, the European Commission published proposals for the EU Budget and the CAP for 2028–2034, introducing major changes to its structure and funding. Negotiations are now underway between Member States, the European Parliament, and the Commission.
Submissions can be sent to post2027capconsultation@agriculture.gov.ie with the deadline being 5.00pm on Friday, 20 March 2026.
Further details can be found on the Department’s website under the title Public Consultation on the CAP Post-2027 Regulations.
