"Mercosur is not a good deal for Irish farming and should be opposed,"
Micheál Martin made comments that left open the possibility of an agreement on the Mercosur trade deal. TDs reacted angrily to those comments. Late on Wednesday evening Clare TD Cathal Crowe posted a message in the Fianna Fáil WhatsApp group that set off a wider conversation. Many TDs view the Mercosur issue as fundamental to their standing as public representatives. Crowe, who is also a farmer, stated: 'Mercosur is not a good deal for Irish farming and should be opposed.' Crowe had been feeding cattle at 7.30am that day. The exchange highlighted tensions within Fianna Fáil over trade policy and rural interests.
