The role of treasurer was the last national officer position to be filled by the IFA after December’s election of Francie Gorman as president, Alice Doyle as vice-president and three new regional chairs.
Newly-elected president Francie Gorman from Co Laois told IFA representatives at the AGM that family farm incomes will be the priority of his presidency and that the funding of on-farm environmental measures must be separate to Ireland’s CAP budget.
