Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association (ICMSA) president Pat McCormack has urged all farmers and the wider farming community to vote for the candidates whose policies will “actively support and develop” the agricultural sector.
He said that voters need to ask the hard questions of political parties and candidates in the final days of the campaign and support those who will genuinely support the farm sector.
Fairness and equity

“Obviously, how individual farmers vote is a matter for them. We absolutely have to have a government that will treat us fairly and equitably and not take aim at us for ideological or politically expedient reasons,” said McCormack.
Every vote is going to count
“Every farmer and farm-related vote should be cast for candidates who support farming and the wider rural economy.”
He added that it is impossible to overstate how important it is to have a government that will work with farmers and not against them.
