IFA Statement on Presidential Election

IFA President Francie Gorman said former IFA Presidents are private citizens and can choose to run in elections or endorse any candidate they see fit.

However, they do not speak for IFA and IFA does not support any candidate in this election or any other election. 

He was commenting on a newspaper ad that appeared yesterday.

“IFA is a strictly non-political organisation as set out in our constitution.”

Francie Gorman called on all farm families to use their vote in the Presidential election on Friday.

“They should cast their vote on polling day and vote for the candidate of their choosing,” he said.

“I do not believe that any purpose is served by spoiling your vote or voting for someone who has withdrawn from the election,” he said.
