Beef Farmers Receive A Boost As Some McDonald's Prepare To Re-Open

Some positives are beginning to emerge for farmers hit by the Covid-19 crisis, according to the Irish Farmers Association.

The IFA says up to 60,000 farmers will benefit. It comes as the EU's agriculture ministers meet by videolink later to further discuss supports for the sector.
