1/ Thread on climate & Irish agri lobbyists

As the Joint Committee on Climate begins its vital work, we need to talk about the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) and the Farmers Journal.

Other than membership, where do you think the IFA gets its €€€ in the millions? 2/ From the “European Involvement Fund” levy. What’s that, an EU tax? No, despite the name. Irish farmers pay this ‘levy’ on an *opt-out* basis on the sale of livestock, milk & other produce @ €1.50 for every €1,000 sold. Goes mostly to the IFA but also to @icmsa & others.
