Public meetings for farmers and hauliers to discuss rising fuel prices are expected to take place locally in this region over Easter Weekend to discuss the issue over the coming days.

 

It’s being reported that such a meeting will take place in Manorhamilton on Easter Saturday.

 

Irish farmers are warning recent government action on fuel costs is not enough.

 

 

Agri-diesel prices have surged over 50 percent in recent weeks and the IFA says recent excise cuts of just five cents, barely make a dent.

 

 

The Irish Farmers Association and Farm and Forestry Contractors met last night with Tánaiste Simon Harris and Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon to plan a coordinated response to the energy crisis.

 

 

IFA President Francie Gorman says they found no outright solution but did agree a base for further discussions.
