Pringle speaks out against Mercosur deal


Donegal Deputy Thomas Pringle has been speaking out against the Mercosur deal, acknowledging that it is now becoming known as the “cows for cars” deal.

Deputy Pringle urged Minister Michael Creed to outline how he plans to ensure the deal reflects the best interests of all:
