EU-US trade deal (TTIP) poses serious threat to Irish and EU farming

In light of Friends of the Earth Europe's recent report evaluating the impacts of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) on European agriculture (particularly Irish agriculture), I'm resurrecting my own work on TTIP so far.

It's more than ironic that some of our political elites (including Commissioner Phil Hogan and acting Taoiseach Enda Kenny) repeatedly tell us that agriculture is Ireland's most treasured indigenous sector while they're willing to squander it for a trade agreement.
