ICMSA president says existing Brexit losses must be first in line to be addressed

I met EU Agriculture Commissioner Phil Hogan last Thursday in Brussels to discuss the ongoing uncertainty over Brexit and the crippling effect the chaos is having on Ireland’s farming and wider agri-food sector and the financial losses being suffered by farmers.

I told him the whole sector had been in a state of suspended amination for going on three years since the Brexit referendum put a massive question mark over our traditional markets in the UK.
