Ireland has one in seven chance of Franz Fischler job
Farmers too are keenly interested in one of the races on the programme the Agriculture Commissioner Steeplechase.

Ireland has a good chance one in seven, according to the talk in Brussels of filling the Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries vacancy, when Franz Fischler will step down in October 2004.
