Sinn Féin’s spokesperson on agriculture Matt Carthy has said that there needs to be clarification about how much Ireland will have to contribute to the EU’s €1.8trn Budget for the next seven years and how much it will receive.

“We need to cut through the spin and get to the heart of the deal,” he told RTÉ radio’s Today with Sarah McInerney show.
