IFA presidential candidate Francie Gorman is the latest guest on our Love Laois podcast.
The Spink native is set to launch his presidential campaign this Friday night in the Abbeyleix Manor Hotel and ahead of that, he chatted with LaoisToday about his reasons for running, his passion for farming and how he really enjoys representing farmers at the highest level.
From environmental challenges to differences in the farming community, he discusses some of the key issues he’d face if he were elected.
His campaign will see him canvass the 975 IFA branches in the country, which takes in over 72,000 members.
And as well as his campaign, he also discusses his interest in farming from a young age, why he didn’t opt to go into dairy farming when quotas were lifted the family support he receives and why he would love to see his son Tom follow in his footsteps and take on the family farm in years to come.
