How a little known EU rule could push the price of a cup of coffee higher and hurt already impoverished farmersFor the first time, tourism has been added as a sector along with agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, transport, and flood risk management. At local authority level, this will include zoning and the need for development to be future proofed.
“We are in a deeply fearful, uncertain period and in uncharted waters that we have to prepare for,” he said. “Regina sees political advantage in attacking us. There is a reason for that. I’ve seen it from canvassing doors right around the country. You go to some doors where people see change happening and it’s difficult,” he said.
Mr Ryan agreed that electorally it is a difficult period for the Green Party and that concerns around climate change have faded in recent years.
