What they do
The Irish Farmers Association is the national representative body defending the interests of Irish farmers, headquartered at the Irish Farm Centre in Dublin. Beyond lobbying government and the EU, its member services team negotiates commercial discount schemes with named partners, including FBD personal accident and insurance discounts, Stena Line travel fares, Original Irish Hotels breaks, and the association's own telecom, power and solar products delivered directly to members. Membership entitles farmers to a vote within the association and covers sector-specific sections including aquaculture and horticulture, alongside a separate countryside membership for rural supporters. Access to negotiated discounts and representation is restricted to paid-up members, who join through the online application, the membership office or by phone. Revenue from these member services also helps fund representation work in Dublin and Brussels.
