General Election 2024: On the campaign trail with Pippa Hackett
Speaking to Agriland as part of our ‘On the campaign trail – General Election 2024‘ series, Green Party election candidate and Minister of State, Pippa Hackett, has set out what she would do to support rural communities and farmers if elected.
She said that as farmer who lives in rural Ireland she understands the issues from rising TB rates, young farmers and the lack of a farmer retirement scheme.
Minister Hacket also said that she accepts that the nitrates derogation is a “crucial part” in terms of the economic viability of the dairy sector and that Green Party “will work really hard to to maintain the nitrates derogation based on improvements in water quality”.
