We distributed 1000 leaflets with details of our Independent Ireland NO to Mercosur campaign at the Longford Agricultural Show today : every farmer we met outlined clear opposition to the deal - our Minister for trade Simon Harris TD would do well not to ignore this #Mercorsur

At the weekend I met a farmer in Abbeyleix who told me the next CAP package would be the last one for small farmers in the midlands and north west : I told him we canโ€™t allow that to happen and today I received support for the same view when I spoke in the @EuropeanParliament Agri committee

Mullooly in favour of limiting large CAP payments Independent Ireland's man in Brussels wants to cap CAP payments, but said balance is needed as 'you can't really say if an Irish farmer has 300ha of land, he is alright'.

The suggestion by European Commission President Ursula von der leyen that Israel could in any way be allowed to behave like they have done in Gaza and Iran in the name of โ€œself-defenceโ€ is just despicable I told @kajakallas in the plenary session of the @Europarl_ENon Strasbourg today

Mullooly Matters The biggest change in farming life over the last 40 years ? It has to be the round bale, writes Ciaran Mullooly, whose father was one of the pioneers.

On Fatherโ€™s day 2025, I remember my own Dad. A farmer who worked hard all his life, Dan Mullooly was justifiably very proud of his place in the midlands agricultural history as I wrote in my old column in @farmersjournal last year. Read on โ€ฆ

I have just seen a bill from ESB Group for 8000 euro! Energy prices are crucifying small business & leading directly to higher food prices in Ireland & throughout Europe: the facts are clear and the European Commission carries much of the blame so itโ€™s time to change the agenda NOW!

Let this message be clear: Irish farmers are NOT interested in temporary compensation from
the unfair @EU_Commission Mercosur trade deal - they want to hold onto their multi million โ‚ฌ markets for beef and white meat in Europe and wonโ€™t be giving it away to South America #Mercursor
