Macra na Feirme repeats call for generational renewal for farmers

Years of highlighting the need for generational renewal for farmers has failed to yield tangible support, says Macra na Feirme.

In addition, they have been calling for that land to enter into the hands of young farmers regardless of enterprise when…

Timber homes take three to five months to erect compared to eight to 12 months for regular homes. Yet only a quarter of new homes built in Ireland are made of wood.

What’s more, each timber home saves 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. According to Forest Industries Ireland (FII), part of…

But IFA Animal Health Chair TJ Maher…

Property price growth remains strong

While property price growth is still strong, this could slow as the year progresses, according to Trevor Grant, chairman of the Association of Irish Mortgage Advisers. Influencing factors include “anticipated increased supply coming on stream and mortgage exceptions becoming harder to obtain, which reduces borrowing power accordingly”. The current housing shortage coupled with strong mortgage approval figures makes it difficult to forecast how the upcoming ECB rate increases will affect…
