As Ireland exports almost 90% of its produce, the impact of this new deal will be felt to a greater degree in this country than in other member states. In County Longford, designated a deprived area having both CLÁR and RAPID programme status, the current figure of 265 dairy farmers will drop by 100 in the next two years.
