Rural Life
A Fine Gael TD has raised the issue of the "development of mass areas of solar farms" and the increase in TB cases in the Dáil.
N.Ireland
Farmers for Action (FFA) is calling for an immediate halt to the development of solar farms on arable land in Northern Ireland.
Environment
Finding harmony between good quality land and solar generation is hugely important, according to Jer O'Mahony, who chairs Wexford IFA.
Farmers in east Cork "are selling large dairy farms" for solar farm development, a Fianna Fail TD for Cork north central has revealed.
Opinion
The issue of developing large-scale solar farms on top quality land is one that is fast-rising up the priority list of tillage farmers.
More than 80 solar farms have been granted planning permission in Ireland over the last three years - but nothing is operational yet.
There are issues that Irish farmers should be aware of when contemplating solar. One is the CAP subsidy and the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS).
