The scheme, implemented by BIM, was recommended by the Seafood Taskforce established by Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue. Funded by the European Union under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve , the Brexit Process Capital Support Scheme will deliver up to €45m in funding to the Irish seafood sector.
