To open the show we spoke to newly elected IFA President, Tim Cullinan is a farmer from Tipperary and won the race this week to replace Joe Healy as president next month. Tim says he wants to reunite farmers across the country. Turnout was low in the election, with less than 23,000 of the 70,000 IFA members voting. Indeed, we’ve heard from listeners on this programme of their concerns around what some see as the lack of representation from the different farming bodies.
