Aidan Flynn: Big Brexit week looms for Irish food exporters to Britain

New controls over Irish food exports to Britain start on Thursday and the first few weeks will likely be difficult

New requirements for hauliers are the first of three phases for new controls at British ports.

New Brexit controls on the export of a wide range of food products across the Irish Sea to Britain come into effect in a few days.

The new controls cover so-called products of animal origin, animal by-products and germinal products, and high-risk food and feed of non-animal origin, to or via Britain. They come into effect from January 31.
