A Donegal TD is claiming that family farms in the west and north west will be hit by a reduction in funding because of the decisions taken in reaching agreement on the EU Covid recovery fund announced this week.
Sinn Fein Finance Spokesman Pearse Doherty says Ireland will receive just 4% of grants available during the next two years, adding that many research funds have been cut and the Just Transition Fund has been slashed by two-thirds.
Deputy Doherty claims Ireland -- and farmers -- are not winners when it comes to the Recovery Fund.
