Michael Creed a steady hand on Brexit’s stormy seas

Agriculture Minister Michael Creed is refreshingly candid about the challenges ahead but his commitment appears solid, says Political Correspondent Juno McEnroe.

He has an unenviable job, having to oversee complex sectors and to protect Ireland’s farming and fisheries communities now facing catastrophic challenges from Brexit.

Nonetheless, sitting in his Kildare St office on a muggy summer’s day, Agriculture Minister Michael Creed showed little sign of a politician discouraged by daunting tasks ahead.
