Listening to a Department of Agriculture in Northern Ireland (NI) Brexit event on Tuesday it became clear about the mountain of red tape coming for those who trade goods from Britain to NI. The key message? Don’t put your cattle on the wrong boat. They can only enter NI at Larne Port, so if the animals arrive in Belfast, it is straight back to Scotland. The fact that Belfast and Larne ports are only 23 miles (38km) apart is irrelevant. “The only way to get to Larne is by sea” said NI’s chief vet Robert Huey.
Poots hospitalised after meeting with McConalogue
Agriculture Ministers on either side of the Irish border met on Thursday to discuss various issues, including the thorny issue of the PGI for Irish grass fed beef. By Sunday evening Minister Edwin Poots was in the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. Of course, it had nothing to do with Thursday’s meeting, but it makes for a good headline all the same. Minister Poots had a perforated appendix and an emergency operation. We wish him a speedy recovery.
