A Castleisland Municipal District councillor says tillage farmers did not get enough support in Budget 2024.
Fianna Fáil councillor, Fionnán Fitzgerald, who is also a tillage farmer; says the funding announced won’t cover the real costs they face.
He says farmers are under extreme pressure after a challenging year and 11 euro per acre funding is insufficient.

Cllr Fitzgerald says tillage and horticulture farmers need more government support, and they were left behind in the budget.
