The agriculture sector will play its part in the fight against climate change despite being considered the “bogey-man” in Ireland, the Agriculture Minister has said.
Charlie McConalogue said every sector of the economy must do “the most it possibly can” to reach the targets set to reduce carbon emissions by 2030.
The Government is expected to sign off before the end of the month on legally binding targets for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that would require a cut to the national herd.
