Ireland Could See Its Share Of The EU's Brexit Compensation Fund Reduced

It would be reduced under new French proposals on how payouts are calculated

The way in which the EU would split the fund has not been signed off by memeber states yet. 

However talks are underway to try and find a compromise and avoid a delay in countries receiving money.  

With Ireland set to be one of the hardist hit by Brexit, it was to receive just under 1 billion euro from the fund this year. 

However proposals from France would see Ireland's share reduced by 200 million euro, with more money going to bigger countries like France Spain and Italy.
