Pauline O’Reilly, Senator and Chair of the Green Party joined Gavin Reilly to discuss the results the climate deal will have on farming sector in Ireland.

The Green Party's chairperson has said the national herd will likely reduce in size as a result of the Government's climate deal - contradicting the Taoiseach, who says livestock numbers will 'stabilize'.
