Dairy Industry Ireland (DII) has reacted positively to the Government’s calls this morning to a Brexit scheme for the agri-food sector.

The Industry said that the new capital investment scheme was “very timely” - coming after Brexit and in advance of the new climate change bill - “and will help continue to drive the ongoing step change in investment in the industry as it looks to further diversify and drive up the value chain for the benefit of all stakeholders.”
