The full story

Farmers from across Ireland gathered in Dublin to protest against proposed reductions to agricultural funding in the next European Union budget. Organised by the Irish Farmers' Association, the demonstration took place at the Clayton Hotel on Cardiff Lane near the Convention Centre during an EU leaders' summit. The protest is part of the 'No CAP Cuts' campaign, addressing concerns over a potential €2.4 billion cut to the Common Agricultural Policy for the 2028 to 2034 budget. IFA President Francie Gorman stated that the CAP budget faced a 24% reduction despite a 68% increase in the overall EU budget, warning of negative impacts on food production and rural communities. The rally also brought together representatives from other European farming organisations.
