  • What are these trespassers on farms hunting? Pat McCormack has his suspicions

    What are these trespassers on farms hunting? Pat McCormack has his suspicions
    Nov 18 2022
    In this episode, ICMSA President, Pat McCormack, looks at the nationwide problem of semi-organised gangs of trespassers-hunters intimidating and threatening farmers. He outlines the problems – but more importantly, he lays out what ICMSA think might be solutions. Following on from a meeting with Minister McEntee, the ICMSA President wants a new and much more proactive approach taken to a problem he thinks is spiralling out of control before lives are lost. Anyone interested in this issue should listen because he warns, bluntly, that the frequency and intensity of these confrontations is increasing
