Mr Patsy McGlone (Mid Ulster): To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to outline the specific efforts made since the EU referendum to ensure an all-island approach to the processing of dairy products.
(AQW 7623/16-21)
Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs: This issue is being considered as part of a detailed assessment of the potential impact for Northern Ireland of a UK withdrawal from the EU. The approach taken will be dependent on the arrangements for leaving the EU and it is too early to say what these will be.
