Over 6,000 farmers and landowners flocked to the Eikon Centre for the UFU organised event.
1. Pacemaker Press 18-11-2024: Queues of traffic have formed round the Eikon Exhibition Centre in Lisburn, where farmers are gathering at a rally to protest against changes to inheritance tax. The event, organised by the Ulster Farmers' Union, is also being attended by politicians as well as agricultural leaders. Farmers say the cap of £1m on agricultural property relief (APR) announced in the budget last month will see the next generation deterred from taking over family enterprises. The rally has been called ahead of national protests in London on Tuesday. Earlier, a cross-party letter signed by all of Northern Ireland's MPs was sent to Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
