Farmers seek smaller Brexit loans

For the €300m SME Brexit Loan Scheme to work for farmers, they would need the minimum loan amount to be dropped from €50,000 to €20,000, said ICMSA farm business chairman Shane O’Loughlin.

While welcoming the loan package launched jointly by Business, Agriculture and Finance Ministers Heather Humphries, Michael Creed and Paschal Donohue, the ICMSA has also urged the Government to clarify the procedures for application.
