Summary
Farmers in Connacht face a potential half-billion euro funding gap under the next Common Agricultural Policy, threatening their livelihoods and the rural economy. With EU budget talks stalled and cuts looming, vital sectors like suckler beef and sheep farming are at risk—already losing farmers annually. The IFA warns that without urgent government action, future generations won’t take over farms, and rural development programs like LEADER could collapse. Ireland, holding the EU presidency, is urged to leverage its position to secure fair funding, arguing that food production is as critical as defense in today’s world.
