Mr. Alan Jagoe:

We need buy-in from all stakeholders on this. If Macra is to push this agenda to its fullest, it will be taken by the older farmer that it is young farmers only going for land grab. That is why we need buy-in from all stakeholders. The IFA came on board with this study because it realised the problem out there, as well as the other stakeholders. Macra will be very much behind the scenes driving this issue to the forefront. We want this land for productive reasons. Just because the land is for production does not mean we have automatic rights to ownership.
