Intent: To highlight that the extended power of the 4th National Biodiversity Action Plan and the scope of the actions - be they legislative, policy or programme-related - will need to be fully considered.

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

Intent: To highlight the impact of the proposed Nature Restoration Law by the European Union, which will enact legally binding targets on Ireland, up until the year 2050, across a broad range of ecosystems, from agricultural land and forests, to rivers and marine habitats, to meet our restoration targets and obligations and how farmers will be the most impacted by the outcome of this Law.::To highlight how, as agricultural land accounts for approximately 67% of Ireland's total land area and forests account for approximately 11% of the total land area, the proposed regulation will have far reaching consequences for Irish agriculture.
