Holywell Podcast: Brexit Focus Episode 16

Disclaimer: The views expressed in this presentation are solely
those of the interviewer/interviewee and do not in any way
represent the views of the Holywell Trust, its partners or their
funders. The UK's withdrawal from the European Union will not
take place on March 29th 2019 as planned and will now be either
April 12th or May 17th, depending on whether Theresa May can
force her Withdrawal Agreement over the line. Paul Gosling and
Gerard Deane discuss the twist and turns in the negotiations and
the events occuring within the House of Parliment over the past
few weeks. Guests this month include Ivan Ferguson, Ulster
Farmer's Union, who discusses his fear for cross border trade and
the Agriculture industry in Northern Ireland (in general) due to
high tariffs in the event of a No-Deal Exit. In his interview he
bluntly explains why he and the union want a deal. Professor
Siobhan O'Neill from University of Ulster talks about Brexit's
impact on the mental health of communities and the issues it is
causing at that level and on an academic level, as further
problems on funding becomes more and more clear. Finally Paul
Stafford, University of Ulster, is leading a piece of research on
the Community Impact caused by Brexit and he needs your help. If
you are an EU citizen hoping to reside in the UK after April 12th
then you will need to apply for settlement status. Paul Gosling
takes some time to address the "Settlement Scheme", it's
complexities and how the process unfolds. Please feel free to
