Fianna Fáil figures say Taoiseach’s gesture will not lead to change in EU’s nitrates policy

Fianna Fáil TD Jackie Cahill, who chairs the Oireachtas agriculture committee, said the commissioner had been “absolutely emphatic” that the decision would not be reversed and that it was “very important that we’re straight with farmers and give them the factual position”. However, Fianna Fáil figures were privately scathing of the Taoiseach’s intervention. One senior Fianna Fáil source said the intervention was a “declaration of election time” and argued that it was a move to shore up support for Fine Gael among farmers at a time when Irish Farming Association elections are also under way. “[Fine Gael] have lost on farming,” the source said, arguing the party had been “poor on farming stuff for years”.
