Interview with my Dad - Part 16

Dad represented farmers in Wicklow, Wexford, and Carlow for many years. In today's clip he tells us about the Beet Grower's Association (BGA) in Carlow, and his involvement with the Irish Farmer's Association (IFA). Part of this was taking part in the national march to Dublin in 1967 - the Wicklow farmers marched from Arklow. All of this took a lot of time and eventually he had done enough - you can hear in his voice that there was his own work to be done and he ended his involvement with the BGA and IFA.
