Cavan/Monaghan Fianna Fáil TD, Brendan Smith, has welcomed the announcement by Minister Darragh O’Brien and Minister Charlie McConalogue of a further extension of the slurry spreading period by seven days up to October 14.

“Very poor weather conditions during the summer and also throughout September severely impacted on the ability of farmers and contractors to get slurry applied on land.  The extension granted is absolutely essential to enable farmers to carry out this important work in a prudent manner” stated Brendan Smith TD.
