Common Agricultural Policy and Young Farmers: Engagement with Macra na Feirme

Ms Gillian Richardson:

It is not an easy question. Macra na Feirme itself has three female vice-presidents, which is not seen in other organisations. We need the likes of the Department or the Government to invest in a body of work to examine what the barriers are and how we can address them. Perhaps Mr. Dillon or Mr. Keane would like to come in on that.
