Local food sector will need continued supports to overcome Brexit issues

Food producers in Cavan and Monaghan will continue to need supports against Brexit challenges.

That's a warning from the business group IBEC today, as it outlined its budget proposals.

Analysis in 2016 found that border counties were going to be worst affected by Brexit, because of their proximity to Northern Ireland, and the main sectors that they support.

IBEC Chief Economist Gerard Brady told Shannonside Northern Sound that this is proving to be the case, and these businesses can't be forgotten about.
