Farmers are holding a rally against cuts to agricultural budgets to coincide with a EU summit in Dublin.
It’s taking place at Clayton Hotel on Cardiff Lane, close to the Convention Centre where European leaders are meeting for a second day.
The Irish Farmers’ Association has been running a ‘No CAP Cuts’ campaign this week with county executives displaying massive signs on their land, including ‘No CAP Cut’ ploughed across a 40-acre field beside Dublin Airport.
IFA President Francie Gorman, says CAP has been cut by 24% despite the overall EU budget increasing by 68%.
