The Irish Farmer's Association (IFA) has said that Taoiseach Micheál Martin will appoint a new Minister for Agriculture next week. 

Yesterday evening the IFA president Tim Cullinan and direct general Damien McDonald met with the Taoiseach to discuss the importance of the portfolio due to ongoing Brexit trade talks between the European Union and Britain.
