There are calls for an increase in the quota for permits for dairy workers outside the EU. \ Philip Doyle
With many people back on the home farm during lockdown, some farm recruiters believe short-term demand for help will be filled by family labour during spring calving this year.
Joe Rowe from Farm Solutions in Wexford, said that while the short-term demand might be filled easily with family help, there was still an issue with securing long-term dairy farm workers.
He said the permit system for 100 dairy workers outside the EU had been exhausted and the scheme needed to be extended to provide additional permits.
