Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union

Impact of Brexit on Business Sector: Discussion

Ms Julie Sinnamon:

Looking at this opportunity might be useful as an initial piece of work that could be done. The rules of origin impact on flour has been an unintended consequence.

With that might come opportunities, just as the whole Covid situation has given rise to opportunities for people to do things that we previously would have thought might not be appropriate. With that change and the lack of competitiveness it brings in terms of the cost, there is probably work to be done to look specifically at the issue and to support companies to examine the feasibility of doing further processing in Ireland that previously would have been done elsewhere.
