Government Still Skeptical Of Mersocur Ahead Of Final Vote

It's ahead of the deal's final vote on Friday and a national rally in Athlone the following day.

The Government says it still has concerns about the Mercosur trade deal ahead of a crucial EU vote on Friday.

The deal would create the world’s largest free-trade zone, but Ireland and France remain strongly opposed despite EU claims it would boost trade.

Thousands of farmers are expected to attend a rally in Athlone this Saturday to protest the deal.

Ireland South MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú says she will not support the agreement.
