THE GREEN PARTY is expected to seek postponement of a Dáil vote on a controversial free trade agreement in order to allow for a full debate at a later date.
Tomorrow, the government is due to introduce a motion to the Dáil proposing the ratification of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which will remove the vast majority of trade barriers between Canada and the European Union.
