Peat harvesting rules relaxed - Government posturing on climate crisis

In recent weeks, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar expressed a new commitment to confronting climate change.

In the interim, Agriculture Minister Michael Creed, attended the IFA annual meeting, where he heard a strident attack on those who question modern farming. Mr Creed did not challenge that view and therefore appeared more a non-executive director of that lobby group than a representative of all citizens.
