‘Brexit’ a huge threat to Irish agri-food, says Kelly

Ireland’s agri-food sector will be severely impacted should the UK public vote to exit the European Union, says Sean Kelly, MEP.

“A ‘Brexit’ would create a great deal of uncertainty as to future trading terms and regulations between the two countries,” he said.

Department of Agriculture figures for 2013 show that Britain remains Ireland’s largest export market for food and drink.
