Calls made to change the reference years of the Sheep Welfare Scheme

The IFA National Sheep Chairman Sean Dennehy has called on the Department of Agriculture to change the reference years of the Sheep Welfare Scheme for the CAP transition period.

Speaking to Ocean FM News, Dennehy outlined how the reference years do not reflect the current flock numbers of many sheep farmers within the scheme who have developed their enterprise since the reference period and as a result they need to be changed.
