Farmers in Ireland are angry over a two million euro pay-off for the farming union's general secretary, who was forced to step down in a row over his salary.

Farmers in Ireland are angry over a two million Euro pay-off for the Irish Farmers Association's general secretary. Pat Smith was forced to resign in a row over his salary, but it then emerged that the large remuneration had been agreed by the union's president Eddie Downey, who's also since stepped down. The IFA is now challenging the legality of the payment. We also look ahead to the climate talks in Paris.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sally Challoner.
