I am pleased to learn that because it was quite alarming to think staff would be excluded.

On Brexit and the North, there is much speculation about what Brexit might mean for the financial sector in Ireland. It is generally agreed that Brexit is bad news for the economy, but there is a chance that some banks and even the European Banking Agency might locate here. The union represents workers in the North also, as Mr. Broderick said. Does Brexit put at risk jobs in call centres or other back-office locations for British-based banks in the North? Does Mr. Broderick have any figures on how many jobs are in that category?
