“Farmers in Ireland are facing unprecedented challenges as they try and adapt to new environmental targets, rising costs and evolving consumer sentiment while still producing the high-quality food vital for us all,” stated the new correspondent.
“I look forward to bringing comprehensive coverage of these issues and more to RTÉ audiences across online, radio and television in the years ahead,” he said.
