LANDOWNERS SHOULD BLOCK GO VEGAN ADVERTS

Jan 23, 2023 | Latest News, Press Releases | 0 comments

ICSA president Dermot Kelleher has called on all landowners to block any more adverts from Go Vegan World on billboards on their land. “Farmers are really annoyed at the diesel-powered Dublin buses advertising campaign against Irish farming, being run by the Go Vegan World group.” 

“However, for too long now, billboards around the country have been used to disseminate the anti-farming propaganda and it is time for rural Ireland to stop facilitating this. Many of these billboards are erected on land near motorways and it is time for the landowners to call a halt.” 

Mr Kelleher has also called for transparency around who is actually bankrolling these Go Vegan World campaigns. “It is crystal clear that millions of euros are flowing into Ireland to fund campaigns which conservatively cost several millions to run. Go vegan World and the Eden Sanctuary are very reluctant to provide full transparency about who is paying for all of this. The question is why are they so shy about being open on this?”

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.
