Rumour is a dirty political deal is afoot whereby Ireland gets Nitrates Derogation renewal in return for approving the EU Mercosur deal.
Makes nasty sense: IFA etc & rural TDs get to say "best we could get" to rural voters, meanwhile 🇮🇪🇪🇺 Big Dairy profit from both. Nature & health FAIL of course.

For those in any doubt, the ongoing nitrates derogation debate is not about the science on water quality, it's political wrangling, with our rivers, lakes and seas caught in the crossfire.
Our waterways deserve better- one can't drink politics.

The Dutch Gov argued that it can't take action until the #ICJ issues its final ruling on the matter, but the court said the Dutch state’s obligation to take measures to prevent “(further) genocide” would be “of little practical use” if the Netherlands had to wait for the ICJ's final ruling.
