Description

How much pressure will Ireland come under to agree to the 49-billion euro Mercosur trade deal? It would see a 39% increase in EU exports to South American countries, but Ireland opposes it due to fears of South American beef flooding the European market. Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon laid out the government's strategy in regards to the deal.
