ICSA Connacht/Ulster Vice-President John Flynn has urged farmers in the Shannon River Basin District to attend and contribute to a series of public consultation days currently running as part of the Shannon Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management Study (CFRAMS).

“Between today (Tuesday) and January 29th, farmers in Leitrim, Longford and Roscommon will have the opportunity to share their experiences in relation to Shannon basin flooding with members of the Shannon CFRAM Study Team, and I would urge anyone who has experienced such issues to attend one of the public consultation days,” said Mr. Flynn.

A full list of dates and venues is available online at http://shannoncframstudy.ie/gettinginvolved.aspx.

ALTERNATIVE SCEP TRAINING OPTIONS MUST BE PROVIDED

ICSA Suckler chair Jimmy Cosgrave has hit out at the Department of Agriculture’s decision to offer only online training to participants of the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (SCEP). “This move is very concerning, especially considering the older age demographic of suckler farmers. Many of these farmers may not have reliable internet access or have the necessary computer skills to navigate complex online platforms. The focus should be on ensuring as many farmers as possible can benefit from the scheme rather than putting barriers in place,” he said.
