Minister for Agriculture: ‘The UK is the single most valuable market to Ireland’
Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue told this week's ICMSA AGM that regardless of a deal or no-deal on Brexit, Ireland's current trading alliance with the UK will change. File Picture.
The UK is the single most valuable market to Ireland accounting for 20% of the value of the country’s dairy exports, followed by the Netherlands (14%), and China (11%).
And, It is for this reason that Ireland must do all it can to ensure that “a frictionless east-west and west-east trade continues after Brexit”, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue told Thursday’s Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers’ Association (ICMSA) AGM.
