This follows considerable confusion and anxiety which had been generated by a report in a Sunday newspaper which had incorrectly advised that the expiry date for registering such claims with the PRA was 30th November 2012. Roscommon IFA Co. Chairman, Mr. John O’Beirne, said: “The report over the weekend alarmed many farmers, who feared they were facing a very tight deadline to claim Rights of Way by applying to the PRA. In fact, that report was erroneous and the relevant deadline was extended last year to end-November 2021. This has been confirmed by the PRA today. http://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20544Fri, 16 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20544http://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20544The Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association says the cost of eradicating BVD shouldn’t be borne solely by farmers. http://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20519Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20519http://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20519Launching the Association’s pre-budget submission Support for Agriculture Critical to Underpin Growth in Dublin recently, IFA President John Bryan said that continued investment in agriculture will deliver economic growth, increased exports and jobs. http://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20486Fri, 02 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20486http://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20486Local Fine Gael Deputy Frank Feighan has welcomed advance payments totalling more than €18m to almost 5,000 Roscommon farmers as part of the Single Farm Payment (SFP) scheme. http://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20361Fri, 13 Jul 2012 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20361http://www.roscommonpeople.ie/itemdetail.asp?itemID=20361Roscommon IFA Chairman, Mr. John O’Beirne, has said the very poor weather conditions across the country have had a major impact on farm incomes.
