Brexit fund of €100m is needed for Irish farmers

The €100m Brexit Fund must be distributed to all farmers who incurred losses in beef production, farm leaders told Agriculture Minister Michael Creed at a consultation meeting.
IFA president Joe Healy said the Minister must make necessary changes to the scheme and then move to pay out the money as soon as possible: “It is imperative the scheme is designed in such a way that every cent of the €100m committed by the European Commission and the Government is paid out to farmers,” he said.
