@MichaelFitzTD Independent Ireland, if elected hope to implement a “yellow card system” for farmers to allow them to “put off” an inspection – except those related to animal welfare – in order to get everything 100% right.

If they were to close, 40+ would be looking for work. They support every local cause going. They keep a rural village vibrant. And what’s more, 75%+ of staff earn more than minimum wage because they look after their employees.
