Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union
Implications for Ireland of the Withdrawal of the UK from the EU in regard to the Agriculture and Food Sectors: Discussion
Neale Richmond (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
We have 15 minutes left in this session. Before I open the floor to my colleagues, who I know all have many good questions, I will ask a different question of each of the witnesses. We will take all the answers at the end.
Mr. Healy mentioned market disturbance under European regulations. Which regulations is he citing? More important, what actions has he taken with sister organisations in other member states to see if pressure can be put on the EU for that to be realised?
Mr. McCormack mentioned future trade deals beyond Brexit, especially for his sector. What is the onus to diversify products? He mentioned Carbery Group. How does that look across the sector?
My question for Mr. Chestnutt might be slightly unfair. He can answer it personally or on behalf of the organisation. Does he regret not campaigning on the referendum?
