IFA outline priorities for Longford and nationwide farmers during pre-Budget submission
This kickstarts IFA’s campaign that will continue until Budget ’26 is delivered in October
IFA President Francie Gorman led a delegation recently to meet the Minister for Agriculture Martin Heydon to discuss IFA’s pre-Budget submission.
This kickstarts IFA’s campaign that will continue until Budget ’26 is delivered in October.
IFA President Francie Gorman said that this budget will be very significant as it will be an opportunity for the Government to make good the commitments they have made in their programme for Government.
“Our officers around the country will engage with TDs and Senators at local level and IFA will hold its pre-Budget session with members of the Oireachtas in September” he said.
Francie Gorman said the submission has a comprehensive set of proposals that cover the key taxation and funding areas for farming.
“The Budget in October will be against the backdrop of growing uncertainty for farm families, whether that’s the impact of tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump or the CAP negotiations that began officially in Brussels this week,” he said.
