Over 40,000 farms have been robbed in the last five years, with 14,000 victims of crime in the last 12 months alone.
The Irish Farmers Journal/RED C poll of 1,000 farmers has established that 38% have been burgled at least once. Staggeringly, one in three of those has been targeted more than once, suffering repeated robbery. Leinster – excluding Dublin – has suffered most, with over half of farmers there reporting a robbery to our poll.

We also asked farmers how they intend to vote in the general election. Fine Gael retains the support of almost half the farmers who stated a voting intention. Fianna Fáil’s recovery since 2011 among farmers is slow, but one in five are still undecided.
