Sheep chairman of the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association Paul Brady has welcomed the announcement of an extension to the closing date for submission of the 2013 Sheep Census.
Mr Brady said, “Extending the closing date until Friday, 14th of February is a common-sense move and will allow extra leeway for farmers to ensure that they have fully and accurately completed the form.”
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.
