Tim Cullinan

A month out from @dublinmarathon and clocking up the miles around London Town while also fundraising for the folks at @SamaritansIRL - all donations v gratefully received to support their work, largely done voluntarily.

Inexplicably, I’ve signed up to run the Dublin Marathon and hoping to raise a few euro for @SamaritansIRL along the way. As a charity they do trojan and often unrecognised work helping those in our communities who feel they have no one else to talk to.

Price cuts by supermarkets cannot come 'at the expense of farmers and producers', the Irish Farmers' Association has warned rte.ie/news/business/…

Farmers and producers cannot afford to take a hit in any impending retail price war. Quality food costs money to produce. @TimCullinan_IFA said the Agri-Food Regulator should investigate and act. ifa.ie/campaigns/farm…

IFA President @TimCullinan_IFA meeting @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen in Brussels this week. The President said we must work together with farmers.

We had a forthright but constructive meeting with EU Commissioner @VSinkevicius & his officials @EU_ENV yesterday on Nitrates. It's crucial that our Dept @agriculture_ie engage ahead of his visit here in two weeks' time. ifa.ie/ifa-meet-eu-en…

An IFA delegation led by President @TimCullinan_IFA meeting with the Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue and his officials to discuss the difficulties in the tillage sector and what’s needed to grow more crops.

Lots of political engagement at ploughing 2023. Well done to all at the @NPAIE for providing a platform to showcase our sector.

The commitment from Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar to invite Commissioner @VSinkevicius here has to be honoured. The Govt has to be united in pursuing the best outcome for farmers. ifa.ie/campaigns/farm…

As part of our campaign to get action from Minister @McConalogue on a number of fronts, we will hold a protest at the @fiannafailparty 'think-in' in Horse and Jockey tomorrow. ifa.ie/campaigns/ifa-…

The decision on Nitrates is a huge blow and a failure by Minister @McConalogue & @agriculture_ie. Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar must intervene with @EU_Commission given the seriousness of the issue. ifa.ie/farm-sectors/t…

@IFAmedia president @TimCullinan_IFA has described the new regulations requiring grass lie-back beside a catch crop as way too excessive and has called on Minister for Agriculture @McConalogue to quickly introduce practical solutions. eu1.hubs.ly/H054f5P0
