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

Intent: Thacaigh mé leis an rún agus luaigh mé tábhacht na naíonraí mar bhunchloch foghlama, go háirithe lasmuigh den Ghaeltacht, agus go bhfuil an-chuid acu ag dúnadh faoi láthair de bharr ghéarchéim earcaíochta agus brú eile a bheith orthu. Dúirt mé gur chóir go mbeadh an deis ag gach páiste a c(h)uid oideachais a fháil trí Ghaeilge, agus go bhfuil an t-éileamh ann ach nach bhfuil scoileanna/spásanna ar fáil i gcónaí go háirithe ag an iar-bhunleibhéal.
Details: Rún 21.4: Go n-aithníonn an Ard Fheis seo an tábhacht a bhaineann le Gaelscoileanna agus Gaelcholáistí agus go dtacaíonn sí le bearta chun rochtain náisiúnta ar oideachas trí Ghaeilge a chinntiú.
