With Bruce Thompson, Nuffield Scholar on his dairy farm in Laois

The consultation will run for 4 weeks until 27 Aug. There are 3 ways to get involved, by writing - see below, online - link here or via one of three virtual town-hall meetings on Aug 10, 11 & 12. Register here.

Written submissions can be made via email or mail to:

This follows on from a number of extensive public consultations; including when the proposals were launched in 2018, stakeholder workshops on SWOT, surveys at the Ploughing Championships in 2019, and a public consultation in April 2021 on the environmental report required under the SEA/AA.

Remember this consultation is for the wider public and not just farmers - we all have a role to play in shaping the future CAP Strategic Plan.
