A no-deal Brexit could virtually wipe out sheep farming in Northern Ireland. That's the claim from he Ulster Farmers' Union beef and sheep chairman Sam Chesney. He says the imposition of costly tariffs could price local lamb producers out of the French market. That would be very costly for the industry here, which exports a large amount of produce there. Mr Chesney said that a loss of access to French consumers would be "devastating". Stephen spoke to Sam Chesney from the UFU and SDLP MLA Claire Hanna.
