WATCH: Laois IFA farmers make a giant NO CAP CUTS message for EU leaders

Dozens of Laois IFA farmers, including the IFA President, Laois farmer Francie Gorman, used their tractors to form the giant message NO CAP CUTS, at the Rock of Dunamase.

The message is to plead for no cuts to EU payments , saying it will cause 100 job losses and decimate communities, with the loss of some €9m a year to the county.

The message is especially aimed at the EU leaders gathering in Dublin this week, who will discuss the changes to the Common Agricultural Policy.

The Leinster Express met the farmers on site beside the Rock of Dunamase on Tuesday, November 10, to hear why they were protesting. See leinsterexpress.ie for full story.
