Agri chiefs await Brexit as Europe fixes CAP

A process of regular consultation between Agriculture Minister Michael Creed and his British counterpart, Andrea Leadsom, on the implications of Brexit for the Irish agri-food and fisheries sectors has started.

The two ministers had what Mr Creed described as a very positive pre-Christmas exchange of views in London as the situation relating to Brexit developed.

Meanwhile, the first in a series of All-Island civic dialogues to discuss the implications for the agri-food and fisheries sectors was hosted by Mr Creed in Gormans-town, Co Meath.
