Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 September 2016
1901. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation her views on the recent business monitor published by InterTrade Ireland in relation to the Brexit referendum and the uncertainty that has arisen for business; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26284/16]
View answerI have noted the findings in the recent Business Monitor undertaken by InterTrade Ireland, which shows that 97% of businesses have not made plans to deal with the implications of Brexit.
I am, of course, concerned that companies should be fully prepared for the consequences of the UK leaving the EU. Already InterTrade Ireland have produced information material on Brexit for their companies and it has plans to ramp up their activities and services in order to support SMEs engaging in cross-border activities in relation to the challenges which Brexit will bring.
