On the day of the EU UK Referendum result, I established a Coordination Group on the response to the EU UK Referendum within my Department. The members of the Group comprise the Chief Executive Officers of IDA and Enterprise Ireland and relevant senior enterprise, single market, and trade officials from my Department. The Group has met regularly since 24th June. I chair this Group, and I will continue to do so as part of my Department’s ongoing Brexit response.
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. In addition my Department has established a dedicated Brexit Unit to lead on matters consequent to the Referendum.
