Minister warns of Brexit risks to farming and fishing exports

Up to 40% of Ireland’s multi-billion-euro farming and fishing export markets are at risk in a worst-case Brexit fallout scenario, warns Agriculture Minister Michael Creed, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith.

He admitted there is “no upside” to British voters deciding in a referendum last June to leave the EU and that “until they put their cards on the table”, Ireland will remain in the dark on the likely impact in this country.
