Irish farmers must be properly paid - McConalogue

Farmers must be properly paid through the EU into the future, says Charlie McConalogue. EU agriculture ministers are meeting in Brussels today. The current Common Agricultural Policy runs until 2027, but with pressure on the EU’s budget, money is on the ministers’ minds. The European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, has promised a ‘vision for agriculture’ within the first 100 days of her new term. Speaking in Brussels this morning, Charlie McConalogue, urged the EU to put farmers first for the long term.
