‘Lunatic’ situation looming over 2015 levy scrapping
Name & Address with the Editor
ADVERTISEMENT
DEAR SIR: May I please refer to your recent article in the Irish Farmers Journal about possible milk quota fines?
Would your normally excellent paper be better by highlighting the lunatic situation going forward to 2015?
Under present proposals, the milk supplied up to 31 March 2015 will be liable for superlevy fines. Yet on 1 April 2015, there will be no more levy.
What is a dairy farmer in Ireland supposed to do in the first three months of 2015? This could be prevented by starting the end of the levy on 1 January 2015, which could be done at the stroke of a political pen.
Perhaps your paper, which used to pride itself on being fearlessly on the farmer’s side, could expose this avoidable upcoming disaster.
