Additional capabilities and resources have been assigned across my Department to address issues arising from the complex process of the UK exit from the EU. Currently, no Brexit related vacancies remain to be filled in the Department. My Department is continually monitoring the additional needs associated with management of this process and engages with the Department for Public Expenditure and Reform as necessary. The measures my Department put in place to manage the initial phase of our response to the UK decision to leave the EU remain under review. The Department will require additional staff resources as specific decisions are taken to further augment our diplomatic network.
