I see former Irish Farmers Journal machinery and motoring editor Michael Moroney has landed himself a new gig. From the middle of January, Michael will be new CEO of Farm Contractors Ireland (FCI). Moroney, who was with the Journal on and off for over 30 years, brings a lifetime of experience to the role with the farm and forestry contractors. The Dealer wishes Michael well in the FCI.
