ICOS president Jerry Long with vice-president James O'Donnell. The agri-food industry is the sector most exposed and impacted by the change in relationship with the UK and this must be reflected in how the funding is used nationally, the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society (ICOS) has said. Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney confirmed the funding at the IFA AGM of the north Tipperary executive meeting on Tuesday night. The support comes as part of the Brexit adjustment Reserve, which is worth a total of €5.4bn up until 2024. A total of €4.2bn will be released this year and €1.5bn (25%) of that will be received by Ireland.
