Thank you to Minister @McConalogue for attending our Annual Ag Conference on Saturday. This year’s theme was “Feeding Our Future” and it was great to have the Minister address the crowd on topical issues & answer questions on an open panel. #Macra #AgConf #Irishfarming – at Galway, Ireland

Succession & gen. renewal remains a challenge globally for Ag. To ensure agri-food remains strong & sustainable, supporting young farmers will continue to be a key priority for me and this Government. Thank you @MacranaFeirme for the invite to address your national rally today.

Happy to facilitate a very informative engagement between Wexford @MacranaFeirme and Minister @McConalogue at Leinster House today. Supporting young people in rural Ireland and building sustainable communities have to continue to be cornerstones of government policy.
