Sinopsis
It's claimed Clare farmers are being left significantly out of pocket due to an outdated compensation scheme. Currently the maximum remuneration available to a farmer who loses a cow to Bovine Tuberculosis is €3,000 or €5,000 for a pedigree bull. Farming bodies such as the IFA, ICMSA and ICSA have called for the cap to be increased however, citing operating costs and modern market values. Farmer and Scariff based Independent Member of European Parliament Michael McNamara says it must be updated.
