ICSA CALLS FOR REMAINDER OF GLAS PAYMENTS TO MADE WITHOUT DELAY

Jan 6, 2017 | Press Releases | 0 comments

6 JANUARY 2017

ICSA rural development chairman Seamus Sherlock has expressed frustration on the part of many farmers who still have yet to receive their GLAS payments. “ICSA has received many calls on the issue from farmers who have complied with everything that has been asked of them from the Department but who have been left high and dry waiting for payment.

Adding to the frustration is the fact that so many farmers are having difficulty getting through to the relevant officials to discuss their cases. Prompt payment for schemes such as GLAS is critical for farmers operating on tight margins. A lot of people who are under pressure financially need this payment immediately.”

CHANGES TO BEEF BREEDING INDEXES OF PEDIGREE BULLS HAVE GONE TOO FAR

ICSA president Dermot Kelleher has said ICBF have gone too far with their changes to the beef breeding indexes regarding pedigree bulls. Commenting on the changes which came into effect this week Mr Kelleher said, “ICSA met with ICBF back in early November where we were reassured that no drastic changes would be made; this has turned out to be far from the case however. The changes are proving to have considerable ramifications for farmers participating in the SCEP scheme and indeed for the future of the suckler sector as a whole,” he said.
