A senior figure within the DUP has said the party would have no problem supporting a deal with the EU around plant and animal health, so long as it applied on “a UK-wide basis”.Taking part in an Ulster Farmers’ Union (UFU) pre-election hustings event on Monday night, Upper Bann MLA Diane Dodds said the party would have to study the detail of what might be proposed. However, in principle, she had no objection if new arrangements were the same for NI as other parts of the UK.
