Meath could lose up to €12 million a year. IFA is campaigning for an increased CAP budget to protect farmers, farming families and rural communities across Ireland. Here’s what’s at stake for Co. Meath. #ProtectCap

Under the European Commission's plans for the next EU budget covering 2028–2034, it proposes a cut of c. €2.54bn (-24%) to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for Ireland. IFA is leading a campaign to increase this proposed allocation. As part of this, we are highlighting how much every county stands to lose if the Budget is not increased. Next up, Co. Meath.
