The government presents its demand for a new nitrates derogation (pollution permit) in Brussels as a demand of the Irish public.
This counterpoint argues that it is actually being demanded by a subsection of the agriculture industry, and is in conflict with a genuine public interest: clean water

Something to note: he’s admitted to making a monumental sloppy error against NZ, repeating it against Japan and yet he’s starting.
