‘Serious damage’ to Irish agri-food sector from hard Brexit
A hard Brexit could result in a default to World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules with agri-food businesses losing market access as agriculture and food face particularly high tariffs under those rules.
A hard Brexit will cause serious damage to Ireland’s dairy and beef sectors, new research from Trinity Business School has indicated.
And, according to the research from Frank Barry, Professor of International Business & Economic Development at the Trinity Business School, the Irish beef and dairy sectors face “significant challenges in the case of a hard Brexit”.
