	Description:		Farmers in Northern Ireland say the closure of the Moy Park chicken processing plant in Ballymena is a big blow. Charlotte Smith gets the reaction of David Brown from the Ulster Farmers Union. Irish whiskey, Irish cream liqueur and poitín have Protected Geographical Indication on the island of Ireland, but what will happen to them after Brexit? Patricia Callan from the Alcohol Beverage Federation of Ireland is asking for action to be taken soon. On the topic of Brexit, Steffan Messenger has visited three businesses in Wales to see how they're coping with the uncertainty including one that's stopping trading for six months, and in our final piece on farm waste Nancy Nicolson reports from a firm near Dumfries who collect and process the animals that die on farm, some of which are turned into pet food.
