One of the big two organisations that represent farmers in Ireland has chosen Portlaoise for its national annual conference which will be attended by the Minister for Agriculture.
The Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association will hold its AGM and Annual Conference on Thursday, February 9 at the Midlands Park Hotel.
The Conference open session will commence at 5 pm with guest speaker Charlie McConalogue TD, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
The theme for this year’s Conference is farming in an era of high costs and high climate ambition – can our farmers survive and prosper?
"We represent the interests of drystock and sheep farmers throughout every county in Ireland, with the national office located in Portlaoise, Co. Laois," says the association which has members right around Ireland.
The ICSA is led by president Dermot Kelleher.
