34. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Taoiseach if he will report on his recent visit to County Cavan; the engagements he undertook; and if he met with stakeholders to discuss the impact of Brexit. [45719/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI visited Counties Cavan and Monaghan on Friday 12th of October when I had a number of different engagements.
In the morning, I visited the Cavan County Museum in Ballyjamesduff, the new Autism Unit in Bailieborough Community School and Bailieborough Courthouse.
In the afternoon, I visited Cootehill where I had the pleasure of turning the sod on the new Holy Family School. Finally, I spoke at a Cross-Border Childcare Conference in Emyvale, Co. Monaghan.
While I had no formal meetings with business people on this visit, I did of course meet a wide variety of invited guests and members of the public at the events I attended. During the course of my visit Brexit was to the fore.
The Cross Border Childcare Conference afforded me the opportunity to engage with those attending on the subject of Brexit.
