Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 November 2018
89. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will report on the potential impact of Brexit on County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48114/18]
View answerI refer the Deputy to my earlier reply to Priority Question Number 5, in relation to the Government’s contingency and preparedness planning for all Brexit scenarios.This planning, as appropriate, includes any specific responses necessary according to regional needs and at the county level, including those of Cork, of which I am, of course, acutely aware. As part of the Government’s broader Getting Ireland Brexit Ready public information campaign, the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine and I launched the first of an ongoing series of public outreach events, which was held in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on 5 October.
Bringing together individual Government Departments and Agencies under one roof, the event highlighted the existing supports and resources that are available from across Government to assist businesses in County Cork and beyond with their preparations for Brexit.
