In a letter to Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue, Scottish seed potato producer John K Lind asked if politicians have “forgotten” the Famine as he outlined the devastation that diseases can cause to a crop.

He said the company took a risk in doing this and it stands to make a loss on the crop.

He calls the prohibition on British seed potatoes in the EU “a weak decision, especially as Irish politicians sit at the European table setting important strategy”. “The Irish potato industry would not be looking for solutions to get around the regulations if there was not a need to secure clean seed,” he added.

He asked: “Are the politicians ready to take responsibility for the consequences of losses in the Irish domestic potato supply?”
