Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Impact of Brexit on the Agri-food Industry: Discussion

Mr. Tim Cullinan:

I would not be aware of any negotiations directly on bloodstock but I assume that the same criteria will apply to bloodstock as will apply to livestock. With any movement of animals, there will be sanitary and phytosanitary checks on crossing the Irish Sea. I presume that if there is no deal, trading will involve a tariff. I have all the tariff rates for agricultural products but I do not have them for bloodstock.
