No confidence motion at IFA AGM
The Donegal Co. Executive of the IFA has passed a motion of no confidence in three high-profile figures in the association.
A resolution will now be sent to IFA headquarters reflecting the vote of no confidence in Kevin Kinsella, IFA Director of Livestock, Gerry Gunning, IFA Rural Development Secretary, and Maura Canning, Chairperson of the IFA National Farm Family Committee.
The no confidence proposal came from well-known Letterkenny IFA activist John Gibbons, who was a member of the county executive for many years.
He said that a “very grim” situation exists on livestock farms, and in no way had they seen enough action being taken by the livestock committee.
He also spoke about how contact had been made with Gerry Gunning and Maura Canning to implore them to “out in a big campaign” to get farm assist cuts reversed.
