Fianna Fáil calls for aid for agri-food sector after Brexit

The Government must introduce a low-interest loans package worth hundreds of millions to save the agri-food industry against Brexit, Fianna Fáil has claimed.

Party leader Micheál Martin has also warned that Ireland will have to look for state aid in the wake of Brexit to keep some industries alive.

In an interview with the Irish Examiner, Mr Martin said: “Ireland needs to come up with solutions and we need to invest in our competitiveness in the regions in order to withstand the negative impacts of Brexit.”
