“I spoke to my colleague Minister Creed to invite him to Cappamore Show and speak at the forum. He regards this forum as a very worthwhile initiative and wishes to hear from farmers about the fodder situation including the stresses they are facing on a daily basis.Minister Creed’s coming to Cappamore Show sends out a strong statement that the Government is taking farmers views on board and they will be addressed.”
