The county's farmers are suffering enough. The blow of CAP reform falls on top of the closure last week of the Glanbia meat processing plant in Rooskey, which borders on the county. It employed a number of Longford farmers. How much more can these farmers be expected to take? If it is the Government's policy to drive farmers off the land, it is at least succeeding in that regard. However, it is a success that will, in the not too distant future, come back to haunt it.
