Brexit is a priority for Bord Bia, the state agency responsible for the marketing and promotion of agri-food and drink. Bord Bia's programmes and activities in this area are all directly relevant to expanding market penetration and diversifying outlets for Irish food and drink against the background of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.
Bord Bia currently has a staff of 116 and is in the process of recruiting for four more positions.
My Department is currently considering the future workforce needs of both the Department and its agencies in relation to Brexit and will be keeping resource allocations under close review as the negotiations proceed.
