Manage episode 372078487 series 3496097
Sinn Féin TD, Claire Kerrane has said that the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was set up to ensure food production but now seems to be “going in a different direction”.
In the latest interview in Agriland’s On the Record series, the Roscommon-Galway TD said that climate is a big focus of CAP now but that it should be a different pillar, with food production remaining the sole focus of the overall CAP.
“CAP was set up to support food production. It’s now going in a lot of other ways, particularly around environmental, whereas I really think we need to see a separate pillar in relation to that,” she told Agriland.
