A Brazilian beef exporter has said that in many international beef markets, Irish and Brazilian beef are not competing directly as they are very different products.
Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said we “have to do better to be credible” and that we “can’t be giving out about Brazil cutting down rainforests when they have more trees than us”.
Marian Harkin TD says there is an ‘essential difference between food production and drilling and consuming oil’ and this is a ‘real issue in how emissions are counted’.
Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald says that Government’s solution to addressing high carbon emitting “farm intensification” is to make a decision to support family farmers and the suckler herd.
Finance Minister criticises tone and message of Sinn Féin on farm carbon emissions and says it undermines ability to make the case for “all that is positive for transitioning to a low-carbon future”.
Sinn Féin agriculture spokesperson Matt Carthy described the “complete hypocrisy” of the coalition for supporting the Mercosur trade agreement while simultaneously touting herd reduction here.
