Amharc ar fhreagraThe Coordination Group established within my Department and which consists of relevant enterprise, single market, and trade officials, together with the Chief Executive Officers of IDA and Enterprise Ireland, has met on five occasions to date this year. I chair this Group, and I will continue to do so as part of my Department’s ongoing response. A further four meetings of the group are scheduled for the remainder of this year and a schedule of meetings for 2017 is currently being coordinated.
The work of this group will feed into the Cabinet Committee on Brexit which is chaired by an Taoiseach and will also be supplemented by the Senior Officials Group on Brexit, which is being established in my Department and which will monitor developments across the Department on a regular basis at official level.
