There is going to be a turbulent period ahead if Britain leaves the EU without a deal, but trade will continue between Britain and Ireland. That’s according to Katie Daughen, head of Brexit policy with the British Irish Chamber.

“The UK is a vital market for our producers, especially in the agri-food sector,” she said. “Ireland has a good brand in the UK and consumers recognise the quality of what we produce here.”
