Discussion with Mags Glennon of the WCUG

The NIFC talks to Mags Glennon, chairperson for the Westmeath Cowpark Users Group who are campaigning to retain the use of community owned land used by landless farmers who pay fees to graze their cattle on these lands. Recently the Westmeath county council -by way of the Department of Agriculture - in Dublin, have decided to sell off the cowparks without warning to the highest bidder; showing little regard for the members of the community who depend on the use of the land for their livestock.

Free Forum Video Discussion Series, Segment 4

The National Irish Freedom Committee has produced the fourth segment of the Free Forum Video Discussion Series. This segment covers the ongoing dispute between the Westmeath County Council and the Cowpark Users Group (WCUG) over the unjust sale of the publicly owned Cowpark community farms.

The chairperson of the WCUG, Mags Glennon joined the show via telephone from Ireland. She provides viewers with a detailed description of the ongoing fight to retain the Cowpark community farms.

The host of the series, Brian Wardlow and Pat Williams of the NIFC focused on how this situation, and similar issues could be better served under Eire Nua, the devolved system of government promoted by the NIFC as a replacement for the two existing partitionist states in Ireland.
