Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Economic Impact of Brexit: Discussion
5:00 pm
Mr. Garrett Murray:
In terms of the representative question, the group referred to is the Department and its agencies. That is not to say there is not extensive dialogue with representative bodies. As Enterprise Ireland, we went out to all the representative bodies through July after the vote. Our Department would have done the same and engaged with them. The Export Trade Council, on which there is private sector representation, was meeting today. The Department of the Taoiseach also runs a consultative group which involves all the main representative bodies which would have met last week. One thing we can be sure of is there is extensive conversation within the policy ecosystem. There certainly has not been a failure in that regard.
