The Irish Farmers' Association - IFA

2024-05-17

Intent: To voice farmers' anger and frustration at the ever-increasing administrative burden being placed on them which has had a major impact on farm family incomes.::These frustrations have broadened into anger with European and National lawmakers over the massive increase in regulations relating to Agriculture. The EU, the Irish Government and local Government are devising policies far from the farm gate with little or no consideration of the direct impact on farmers.::The following are some of the key issues that are contributing to growing frustration and anger with the political system::1. The transformation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) away from supporting food production towards actually reducing farm output. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) funding is being redirected to environmental schemes – the EU is effectively implementing new environmental regulations such as the “eco-schemes” on the cheap by redirecting existing funding instead of allocating additional funds.::2

Methods: Original email sent, with replies to those who responded. Ireland's Association for Adventure Tourism (IAAT) is strongly opposed to the proposed 'Beach Bye Laws 2022', as currently drafted. We are deeply concerned that the legislation would effectively deliver a blanket ban to sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, stand-up paddling, horse-riding and other activities (by private individuals/groups and commercial operators) at 24 beaches extending from the Aran islands to Connemara to Portumna. We strongly oppose these bye-laws as currently drafted. For and on behalf of IAAT and our members. - Email
