MEP Seán Kelly flags Irish eco credentials

Ireland’s grassland farming system is a model of efficient agriculture other EU states hold in high esteem, MEP Seán Kelly has said.

The Ireland South MEP said Europe needs to ensure other big emitters follow the efficiency of EU member states at the COP21 Climate Change Conference in Paris in December.

He was addressing a ‘Climate Change and Sustainable Agriculture’ debate in the EU Parliament in Brussels.
