ICSA President Patrick Kent has welcomed support from a group of farm organisations in Northern Ireland for the Association’s call for withdrawal from the Quality Assurance Scheme.

“The Northern Ireland Livestock Auctioneers’ Association, the Severely Disadvantaged Area Group, the National Beef Association, the Northern Ireland Agricultural Producers’ Association and Farmers for Action have come together to support the ICSA stance,” said Mr. Kent. “We are now calling on other farm organisations here in the Republic to stand up and be counted, and to encourage their members to get behind the ICSA action.
