A Message From John
I am offering myself as a candidate for the offce of IFA President because I believe I have the track record, energy and negotiating skills to provide strong and effective leadership at this time of enormous diffculty for farmers. As Chairman of the National Livestock Committee of the IFA, I delivered real benefts for farmers and the economy. Among my achievements were:
- Banning of Brazilian beef imports into the EU,
- Protecting live exports through radical changes in regulations on transport,
- Negotiating the Suckler Cow Welfare Scheme against all the odds,
- Boosting the Single Farm Payment through successfu negotiation of the beef premium overshoot.
I have the track record in delivering for farmers. I am committed to devote every ounce of energy at my disposal in fghting the savage cutbacks of recent months and in protecting the vital Single Farm Payment. I am asking for your No 1 vote in the election.
