Macra was meeting with some of the most senior politicians in Brussels this week, including the EU Commissioner for Agriculture Phil Hogan, on range of issues relating to young Irish farmers. After a a hard day's lobbying and pressing EU big wigs on what matters to young farmers here, the young farmers' group hopped on a bus to get to the airport, but they were hit with a traffic dilemma.
With time running out to get to the airport in time to catch a plane home to do the evening milking, someone had parked irresponsibly, blocking their exit.
Showing their brains as well as brawn, the Macra heavies rolled up their shirt sleeves and managed to shift the blatantly abandoned machine, weighing nearly two tonnes, out of the way so the bus could pass.

Fortunately no damage was done to the car and the Macra crew managed to make it to the correct airport in the nick of time.
