My Department continues to work closely, as it has throughout the Brexit process, with the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform to maximise the funding from Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR) available to the agri-food and fisheries sectors to address negative impacts of Brexit. BAR funding has been provided to support a range of measures including for the horticulture, fisheries, beef, dairy and equine sectors.

The administration of BAR funding, including decisions on the allocation of funding including to RePower EU fund is the responsibility of Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform.
