EU agriculture ministers yesterday backed the deal yesterday.

The new Common Agricultural Policy is not good news for most Irish farmers, according to the IFA.

EU agriculture ministers yesterday backed a deal that will see a new CAP agreement take effect in 2023.

It will see more supports for younger and smaller farmers - but up to 25 per cent of payments will be set aside for eco-schemes.

Carbury man, Brian Rushe, is Deputy President of the IFA, and has been speaking to Kildare Today.

Brian Rushe joined Clem Ryan on Tuesday's edition of the programme.
