'Women's feet are smaller so they can stand closer to the kitchen sink'
IFA election candidate in hot water over 'throw-away' remark
A number of women have claimed that 'a throw-away' remark by a candidate in the battle for the forthcoming election of an Irish Farmers Association (IFA) regional chairman in the North East is making them see red!
The contest for the regional officership comes to a close later this week and the two candidates in the running are James Spears, a dairy farmer from Laragh, who is Cavan County IFA chairman, and a neighbouring county contender, Nigel Renaghan, a well-known poultry producer and suckler farmer from Clontibret, Co Monaghan, who is currently national poultry committee chairman of the IFA.
