Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue has insisted that no cows will be culled as part of the Government’s new plans to tackle climate change.
It comes as Government sources told the Irish Mirror that suggestions that the national herd could be culled by 10% are “complete boll**ks”.
It was reported in the Irish Times on Monday morning that as part of the new Climate Action Plan, which will go to Cabinet on Wednesday, would propose cutting cow numbers by 10%.
