This episode examines the impact EU membership has had on environmental protection and climate action. How has this affected agriculture and fisheries? And what does the future hold for Ireland in these areas over the next 50 years. Jerry speaks to Professor Owen McIntyre who is a director of UCC’s Centre for Law and the Environment, to Ireland South MEP Grace O’Sullivan of the Green Party, to Paul O’Brien who’s chair of the IFA Environmental and Rural Affairs Committee, and to Patrick Murphy, CEO of the Irish South and West Fish Producers’ Organisation. Treasa Murphy presents the main findings of a Radio Kerry survey into people’s attitudes towards the EU.
