Michael Fitzmaurice says the EU is trying to phase out traditional farming on Ireland’s marginal lands.

Galway-Roscommon TD Michael Fitzmaurice has raised concerns about the EU’s proposals to impose restrictions on farming activities.

The EU’s proposals would see farmers limit essential farming activities as a condition to apply for the single farm payment.

Fitzmaurice has urged more politicians to support the agricultural sector.
