The newly elected MEP is speaking after an amended Nature Restoration Law was passed this week.
European election candidates engaged in "fear-mongering" when it came to farmers and the European Union's bio-diversity legislation.
That's what newly elected MEP Barry Cowen is saying after the EU passed a significantly amended Nature Restoration Law this week.
The current Laois Offaly TD is certain no farmers will be forced to enter into any bio-diversity schemes, and none will miss out for not entering them.
Mr Cowen says those who stoked fear on the campaign were in the wrong:
