The nature of Brexit is clarifying, following Theresa May’s keynote speech on Tuesday outlining Britain’s approach to EU withdrawal negotiations. The British prime minister’s assertion that her country will not seek to remain within the single market fulfilled hard Brexit expectations.
Her statement that Britain will seek to maintain a common travel area with Ireland was seen as little comfort by Government. As Minister Michael Creed put it at the IFA AGM, “I see no upside to Brexit for the Irish food sector”. IFA president Joe Healy called for Brussels to put a fund in place to offset some of the €150m losses incurred by Irish agri-food to date due to Brexit.
