Succession Event

The Irish Grassland Association are hosting a free members event at 8pm in the Charleville Park Hotel. The theme of this year’s event is getting succession right on your farm.

The event is kindly sponsored by Yara and is being hosted by former IGA President and Dairy Farmer Paul Hyland. Paul will have a chat with Aisling Meehan a solicitor with significant experience working with dairy farming families.

Aisling is originally from a successful farming family in Co. Clare, as well as running her own business, she is also farming with her husband in Clare and has helped develop many successful agreements and succession plans on farms. Paul and Aisling will tease out what makes some agreements work both within families and outside a farmer’s immediate family.

As with all arrangements there can be challenges in setting up and following through on agreements, and this event, as well as showcasing how to set up agreements, Aisling will look at the common pitfalls that farmers and business can fall into when developing a partnership agreement or a successful succession plan.

This event will give IGA members a unique opportunity to engage and contribute on an often complex but
important topic.

This event is open to all IGA Beef Sheep and Dairy members. No registration required.
