Eamon Ryan and Taoiseach to speak at ICMSA AGM in Limerick
A LARGE Limerick contingent will be expected to attend the ICMSA AGM at the Radisson Blu Hotel on the Ennis Road on Friday November 17.
Local members will be expected to turnout for a line-up of speakers that begins with Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue, then Pat McCormack, ICMSA president, An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar and ends with the Minister for Transport, Environmental, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan – a very controversial figure for farmers and who has been the recipient of serious and sustained criticism from ICMSA.
In what has been an extremely challenging year for Ireland’s critical dairy sector and one that was, according to ICMSA, most certainly not helped by Government policy, it’s probable that the problems in and around milk production will dominate.
While the ICMSA will absolutely insist on decorum and proper procedure being observed, it seems that there will be a deal of straight-talking to the politicians attending. And in the best traditions of the association, as many questions as possible will be taken from the floor so “no-one will be left in any doubt as to the depth of feeling and frustration being experienced by members”.
There is an upper limit on the number who can attend and those intending to travel for the AGM and stay for the dinner that ends the day must contact ICMSA at 061-314677 or [email protected] and confirm if they are not to miss out.
