Farmers are, I’m sure, closely examining the proposal to pay up to €400/ha to control rushes in Special Areas of Conservation (SACs).
Such a payment will be especially welcome among those in the Shannon callows, who have led the “compensation for designation” campaign for years now.
I wonder will IFA president Tim Cullinan apply for the payment, on the grounds that he is carrying out “Rushe control” by keeping his deputy president in check?
