Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association president Gabriel Gilmartin has expressed shock at the untimely death of Minister of State Shane McEntee TD.
Mr Gilmartin said, “Shane McEntee had an acute understanding of the farming sector and worked hard during his tenure as Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.”
ICSA president Sean McNamara has said he is urgently seeking clarification regarding the recent targeting of Irish livestock trucks by Irish officials at the port of Cherbourg. “ICSA has been contacted by several of the livestock hauliers affected who claim they were singled out by the Irish officials for additional inspections by the French authorities while non livestock carrying trucks were left alone. This was despite these inspections having no relevance to animal welfare,” he said.
