Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has again refused to state what emission reduction target her party would set for the agriculture sector to tackle climate change.

Last week, the government launched its updated Climate Action Plan which sets out a 25% reduction in emissions by 2030 for the agri-sector.
