Brexit impact on food producers
Deputy Durkan asked what is being done to reduce Brexit’s effects on the island’s food-producing sector. The Taoiseach said ongoing work is focusing on trade disruption and the wider reconfiguration caused by the UK’s exit.
Given the ongoing impact of Brexit on the food-producing sector on the island of Ireland, what efforts continue to be made to minimise the impact and address the issues arising?
Comment on this
Work is ongoing to minimise the impact of Brexit. It is close to six months since the formal exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union. It is clear that it is already having an impact on trade and patterns of trade. It is certainly causing a reconfiguration and recalibration for both importers and exporters, as well as the impact that Brexit is having on the operations of companies in Britain, especially their trade with Europe and Ireland.
