    McConalogue Opposes Move To Increase Amount Of Cap Payment Linked To Eco Schemes

    The Agriculture Minister says he will resist attempts to further link EU farm payments to eco-friendly schemes.

    Ireland has agreed to allow 20 per cent of CAP payments to be ring-fenced for environmental farm practices.
    But Charlie McConalogue says he told other European agriculture ministers he's against increasing that to 30 per cent.
