Junior Agriculture Minister defends farming sector while Ryan insists on more than 22 per cent.
Farmers are more than willing to do their part to reduce CO2 emissions, according to the Junior Agriculture Minister.
Martin Heydon has been defending the sector, as government negotiations on emissions cuts within the sector continue.
The Environment Minister is hoping to agree on a target of 30 percent, while the Agriculture Minister is pushing for a 22 percent reduction.
Kildare-South Fine Gael TD, Deputy Heydon - himself a farmer - says whichever option is chosen, it must be workable for the sector:
Meanwhile, the Environment Minister Eamon Ryan is already saying that farmers will have to go above a 22 per cent cut.
The Green Party leader says poor results last year mean the pace of change will have to increase:
