Contemporary agricultural practice is increasingly subject to regulation, such as planning regulations, environmental controls, those regulations made pursuant to Acts of the Oireachtas (e.g. the Disease of Animals Acts), or those regulations imposed by EU law. Since farming and agriculture-related business is a mainstay of the Irish economy, in addition to legal practitioners, this book will be of particular interest to farmers, agricultural advisors, and anyone involved in agriculture. * Wide-ranging and comprehensive coverage of the principal aspects of law of concern to farmers * Edited by a practising barrister who also farms, with contributions from leading authorities in their field
