The future of agriculture in Ireland is bright, provided the right choices are made by government and the EU – Colreavy

Speaking after spending time at the Bannow-Rathangan Agricultural Show, Sinn Féin spokesperson on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Michael Colreavy TD congratulated the organisers on a wonderful event.

Speaking at the event Deputy Colreavy said:
“It is heartening to see so many exhibits and so many people attend this event. It is also a clear sign that the future of Agriculture in Ireland is bright, provided the right choices are made by government and the EU. I was delighted to be able to meet and speak with so many people and was particularly pleased to see a strong Sinn Féin membership in attendance. Sinn Féin will continue to actively promote the development of rural communities and seek to ensure that this most valuable of industries will continue to thrive and prosper.”

Cllr Anthony Kelly also attended the event and took time out to man the Wexford Sinn Féin tent in the morning. “I was delighted by the response we got,” Cllr Kelly said. “The Sinn Féin tent was crowded all day and people were eager to engage with us. I think rural Ireland is looking for a new political alternative and Sinn Féin represents that. Partition has long damaged Ireland’s rural economy. As the only real all Ireland party, Sinn Féin believes that farmers across this island need to work together to ensure a fair price for their produce and to regulate the power of the supermarkets.”
