In a special programme from Dublin, Farming Today asks why ten thousand Irish farmers are protesting on the streets of Dublin. The Irish Farmers Association say they need to protect their subsidies from the CAP, address rising feed costs and get their members a better deal. However, not all farmers see this as the way forward. Tom Dineen from County Cork says they will alienate the Irish public by protesting. Alison Healey from The Irish Times says that despite the pressures Irish agriculture is in good shape to increase productivity by 30% over the coming years.
