Impact of UK Referendum on Membership of the European Union on Irish Agrifood and Fisheries Sectors: Discussion
4:00 pm
Mr. Aidan Cotter:
There is a €200 million fund for a range of areas. We submitted six applications to the EU for the three-year fund and were successful in one. It is highly competitive because we are competing with 27 - possibly 26 soon - other member states. It is challenging. We could explore whether there is a fund that would accommodate seaweed.
