I have spent much of this evening reading this campaign document jointly released by @MacranaFeirme @IFAmedia @icmsa @ICOS1894 @DairyIndustryIE @ibec_irl which makes the case for retaining the nitrates derogation. 🧵 1/ifa.ie/campaigns/reta… The report suggests that the interests of Irish farmers & those of the dairy/ meat industry are the same. And that the interests of dairy farmers especially those with derogations are the interests of all farmers. I'm not so sure. Best source of data: 3/teagasc.ie/media/website/…
