McGuinness defends Mercosur and talks Farm to Fork with IFA council

EU Financial Services Commissioner, Mairead Mc Guinness. The IFA, led by president Tim Cullinan, met with European Financial Services Commissioner Mairead McGuinness, who, in response to council queries spoke about Mercosur, Farm to Fork and banking. While the commissioner is responsible for a financial portfolio in the Commission, she has a long-established interest in agriculture through family involvement in farming and being a previous member of the agriculture committee in the European Parliament prior to becoming a commissioner. In welcoming the Commissioner, the IFA president flagged the issues that members of the council would be raising, and while Commissioner McGuinness emphasised that her portfolio was in financial services, she did engage meaningfully on agricultural issues.

Meat factories face grilling over price cuts

Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue is understood to be unhappy with the way beef price cuts were communicated. The Minister told the Farming Independent that the relationship between farmers and processors needs to improve, and he wants the Beef Taskforce to ramp up its efforts in the weeks ahead. “I am committed to bringing greater transparency to the food chain as a way building trust between farmers and processors through the establishment of a Food Ombudsman office this year. “Farmers need greater transparency and clarity on market trends and dynamics,” said Minister McConalogue. “The Food Ombudsman is expected to build on the work started by the Beef Taskforce to achieve this for farmers.”

Despite the hype no budget confirmed for new REPS – IFA

IFA president Tim Cullinan. \ Philip Doyle Despite all the hype, no budget has yet been confirmed for the new REPS, Tim Cullinan has highlighted. Cullinan led a delegation including national rural development chair Michael Biggins and national hill chair Flor McCarthy to meet Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue about the new scheme on Wednesday. “Drawing comparisons with the original REPS that was first introduced in the 90s will look like complete spin if the Minister doesn’t deliver a serious scheme,” Cullinan said. “What farmers need is a meaningful scheme, with a base payment of €10,000. If the Government want to live up to their promises, they must deliver this.”
