Delighted to meet @xenias_EU @COPACOGECA EU Principal Policy advisor at ICOS #AgRenew2026 Ireland Summit today. Great discussions on the importance of Generational Renewal & CAP reform @IFAmedia
IFA President Francie Gorman, COPA President Massimiliano Giansanti and COPA Secretary General Elli Tsiforou met the Taoiseach in Dublin on Wednesday, ahead of the informal meeting of EU Heads of State in Dublin on 13 November. The next few weeks are critical for CAP. Farmers cannot do more with less. CAP needs at least €500bn, not a 24% cut. #ProtectCAP

🇪🇺 IFA/FBD Ready to Lead group visited- Brussels Day 2
The final day for the group in Brussels was jam packed. First up, they headed to the IFA Brussels office where they met with ICOS EU Affairs and Communications Manager Damien O’Reilly, before meeting with the team from FBD who discussed the key role they play within Irish agriculture and how they aim to always be their support Irish farmers and keep giving back to the sector.
Next up for the IFA/FBD Ready To Lead group was a meeting with Ksenija Simović, who is COPA-COGECA Principal Policy Advisor on Trade and International Aspects and Women’s Committee Coordinator. The focus of this discussion was on how policy is shaped in Europe, EU trade agreements, generational renewal policies, and women in agriculture.
The group then headed for the Irish Permanent Representation Building in Brussels, where Agriculture Counsellor Mary Carey gave an overview of the work the Irish EU Council Presidency is carrying out including the MFF Budget and CAP discussions.
The IFA/FBD Ready to Lead group then visited the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), where they were given a briefing on the work the EESC carry out and how it impacts at a member state level in Ireland.
The last meeting of the trip was with the EU Commissioner for Agriculture Christophe Hansen and his team to discuss the challenges facing Irish and European farmers, with a particular focus on CAP, generational renewal and the barriers for young farmers and the cost of doing business on farms.

We will be stepping up the testing of the DNA of pigmeat in the run in to Christmas. The home market is very important for our pig producers, who are under pressure at the moment. We know consumers want the best of local produce at this time of year.
