REAP commonage exclusion confirms worst fears

April 16, 2021 12:47 pm The proposed move under the new Results-based Environmental-Agri pilot Project (REAP) to exclude commonage and land containing heather “stunned” the Irish Natura and Hill Farmers Association (INHFA), which said such a move “confirmed its worst fears”. This follows a presentation made by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to the farm organisations yesterday (Thursday, April 15), which was met with dismay from some groups. Speaking today, INHFA president Colm O’Donnell outlined his dismay on the exclusion of these lands, which are “predominately peat-based and prime habitats for a wide range of fauna such as the endangered red grouse which is an annex 1 red listed bird”, adding:

Farmers will be big losers in designated land policy - INHFA

April 14, 2021 10:00 am There is “a real danger that farmers will once again be the big losers” in the push by politicians and NGO’s to embrace ambitious proposals to increase biodiversity and address climate change through designated land policy, according to the Irish Natura and Hill Farmers Association (INHFA). INHFA president, Colm O’Donnell, has stressed the need to firstly engage with farmers and landowners before any changes are made. O’Donnell stated that since the late 1990s, farmers have “lost control of their lands as the EU and Irish state has effectively claimed squatters’ rights on their property through the implementation of the SAC [Special Areas of Conservation] and SPA [Special Protection Area] designations”.

Concerns raised over new restrictions on peatlands

SHARING OPTIONS: Those receiving payments on soils mapped as carbon-rich will have to meet a different set of standards to other farmers. Farm organisations have aired concerns that restrictions for farmers on peatland and wetland soils in the next CAP will make farming in these areas almost impossible. A meeting of the Oireachtas agriculture committee was told that a new cross compliance condition, GAEC 2, requiring appropriate or minimum protection of carbon-rich soils was designation by the backdoor. Irish Farmers Association (IFA) president Tim Cullinan said the introduction of GAEC 2 in 2023 cannot lead to the imposition of new, additional bureaucratic requirements on farmers.

Proposal for protecting peatland has potential to be extremely detrimental

April 14, 2021 6:35 pm The Irish Natura And Hill Farmers Association (INHFA) has expressed concerns over the potential “detrimental” effects of a European Council proposal on the management of peat-based soils. Speaking at the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture and the Marine, INHFA president Colm O’Donnell said that the proposal for an amendment to GAEC 2 is “unprecedented”. ‘Appropriate protection of wetland and peatland’ According to the European Commission, the main objective of the Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions (GAEC 2) – appropriate protection of wetland and peatland – is the “protection of carbon-rich soils”. Under CAP, GAEC 2 will be applied to eligible agricultural land, as per the European Council proposal.
