The Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) has said that the criteria on cash payments for schemes, such as the National Farm Safety Measure, is too strict and should be revised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The comments follow a recent parliamentary question from Kerry Fine Gael TD Brendan Griffin who asked why a cash payment receipt made by a farmer for safety equipment was deemed ineligible under the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
