Show Notes
The European commission will adopt a proposal to ratify the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement. The Irish government is opposed to the agreement and will not support it unless there are assurances to protect Irish farmers and food standards. The IFA said the deal could 'decimate' the Irish beef and poultry sector.
Pat discusses this further with Francie Gorman the IFA President and Jack Power, Europe Correspondent for The Irish Times.
