An Taisce says agriculture is 'driving Ireland off a cliff' when it comes to meeting emission targets.
It lost a Supreme Court challenge against a cheese plant in Kilkenny yesterday, a process that's been ongoing for two years. However, representatives from the IFA in Wexford have welcomed the move saying the development will benefit both dairy farming and the economy in the South East.
