I am a Dublin-based representative but I am from Mayo originally and am keenly aware of the difficulties this will present for the agricultural business in the State. Senator O'Reilly has touched on my question.

I am interested in knowing what work is being done and what progress is being made in seeking other markets for agricultural products and how realistic the prospect of an increase is in areas outside Europe. Obviously, Brexit is a challenge, not least because of the value of sterling. We have to think outside the box. For example, will we be able to find markets and increase exports to the Middle East, the east and west?
