Irish Farmers Protest Green Scheme Cuts
Irish farmers are protesting against covert cuts to government support for green farming initiatives, led by the Irish Farmers Association. The reductions target grants for solar projects and low-emission slurry spreading equipment, with approval rates plummeting to one in ten. The liming subsidy, popular nationwide, has been axed without replacement. Farmers, particularly in western regions, argue that these cuts hinder their ability to adopt eco-friendly practices. The Irish Farmers Association also laments the loss of multispecies sward and red clover schemes from next years basic income support applications. They urge the minister and department to review and restore these aids, emphasizing the need to build on recent environmental progress.
