David Hall, a dairy and beef farmer from Newbliss, Co Monaghan has been elected Chair of the IFA Animal Health Committee, following a meeting today.
He succeeds TJ Maher, who has completed a four-year term as Chair. The Committee acknowledged Mr Maher’s significant contribution and leadership during his tenure.
“I am delighted to have been elected Chair of the IFA Animal Health Committee and I look forward to engaging with the committee, farmers and sector stakeholders throughout Ireland over the coming four years.”
“My key priorities for the term ahead are getting TB levels back under control and reducing the enormous burden of the disease on farmers, by addressing the ceilings in the live valuation scheme and ensuring an effective wildlife control programme,” he said.
David Hall will formally take up the position of Chair at the 71st IFA AGM next week.
