Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Impact of Brexit on the Agri-food Industry: Discussion

Mr. Tim Cullinan:

There will be no tariff on our beef going up to Northern Ireland and there will be no tariff on sheep coming down from Northern Ireland. That is why the Northern Ireland protocol was negotiated in the first place. We want frictionless trading across that Border. We are all clearly saying that the last thing we want to see is a border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
