UFU withdrawal of funding UFU withdrawal of funding UFU withdrawal of funding
26 October 2005
I greatly regret that, in pursuit of a futile political strategy of not offending Sinn Fein, the Ulster Farmers Union leadership has made a spineless decision to belatedly reject the £12,000 funding which I had arranged, at the bequest of Fermanagh UFU, to be available for the visit of Fermanagh farmers to Brussels. I and my party colleagues feel the UFU, by its unnecessary decision, has let down its members in the interests of placating Sinn Fein.
