The IFA organised protests due to what it says is the failure of the main Govt parties to stop the destruction of farming by the Greens.

He says he listened to all and tried to convince them that the new CAP with be good for Irish farming:

“The debate was really strong and there was very passionate views as well. And I listened to all and I will take it all on board. And the key point I made was listen, the starting point here is a massive increase in funding commitment because that’s what will make it’s way back to farm family incomes over the next couple of years”
