The uncertainty around Brexit and the current climate for beef have had a direct effect on the sale of slats and concrete, Tom Walsh from Doyle Concrete has said. The Kilkenny-based supplier told the Irish Farmers Journal that demand for concrete has reduced 25% in recent months.
“We have received a series of cancellations in the run-up to Brexit, it’s the uncertainty around it,” he said.
Fogarty Concrete in Tipperary has also noticed a decrease in demand.

“The demand just isn’t the same, it has really slowed up in recent months,” said Margaret Fogarty. “This time last year, we were run off our feet. We are facing a whole different market now.”
