Clare ICMSA Chair Says Restoration Law Will Put Farms Out Of Business

Clare FM

The Clare Chair of the Irish Creamery and Milk Suppliers Association insists farmers in this county will be put out of business following the approval of the EU Nature Restoration Law. The controversial law will require all member states to take measures to restore nature on 20% of their lands by 2030. According to the EU, 81% of its protected habitats are in poor health and the policy will be crucial to reviving land and sea ecosystems. Clare ICMSA Chair and O'Callaghan's Mills farmer Martin McMahon says if farmers have less land to farm on though, livelihoods will be decimated.
