Muskerry Macra in association witth IFAC and Macra Agricultural Skillnet are the organisers and the guest speakers on Friday, September 28 will be Minister of Agiculture Food and the Marine, Michael Creed, along with Brian Denn, an IFAC reprsentative.

In addition, Michael Doran, chairperson of the ICBF board and Pat Dillon, Head of Animal and Grasslands Programme at Teagasc will also speak. The discussion will be chaired by Alan Jagoe, who is the Agri Aware Vice Chair and a past Macra President.

This discussion is open to everyone and is a fantastic opportunity to find out more about the future impacts on Irish Agriculture. Light refreshments will be served on the night and the discussion will kick off at 7.30pm.
