Irish Farmers Journal breakfast news: CETA deal on a knife edge
After the Belgian state of Wallonia vetoed the CETA trade deal last week, crisis talks are now underway in an attempt to salvage the deal. A decision will be announced today.
Met Éireann are forecasting that most of the country will be dry today with sunny spells. However, along the south coast it will be cloudier with patchy rain and drizzle at times, and there will be isolated showers in the northeast for a time too. Highest temperatures this afternoon will be between 10 and 13 degrees with light to moderate northeast winds
