Reopening embassy in Iran good for Ireland's markets, says Minister Michael Creed

The reopening of the Irish embassy in Iran would be a “gamechanger” in the post-Brexit climate and open up access for Ireland to a market of a quarter of a billion people.

That’s according to Agriculture Minister Michael Creed, who is targetting new markets for Ireland’s food and farming sectors in the wake of the Brexit result.

In an interview with the Irish Examiner, Mr Creed also said he believes Fianna Fáil will not withdraw support for the minority government as it needs the model to work for future power-sharing deals.
