Green Party could walk away from Government if deal on cut to farmers' emissions is too low

Green Party members have suggested they could walk away from Government if Coalition leaders do not agree a deal on emissions targets for agriculture at the higher level.

Coalition leaders met for a third time on Wednesday in a bid to make a decision somewhere between 22-30%. It’s understood talks resumed on Wednesday evening between Coalition partners.

Green Party leader Eamon Ryan said he was “hopeful” Coalition leaders could agree on a deal on emissions targets for agriculture but that “nothing is certain yet.”
