Irish Farm Organisations Plan Major Protest Against EU–Mercosur Trade Deal
Several Irish farm organisations have confirmed plans to take part in a major protest later this month. They are opposing the proposed EU–Mercosur trade agreement, as expectations grow that the deal could be finalised within weeks.
