I welcome the witnesses to the committee. The Irish Exporters Association has conducted many surveys among its members which have shown that they are becoming more nervous about the outcome of Brexit as time goes on. The last survey results that I read showed that 92% believed that it would be detrimental to Irish exports. The witnesses said that indigenous businesses are woefully unprepared for Brexit. Have they seen any changes over the last year in terms of the preparedness of businesses for the potential outcomes of Brexit? If not, what do they believe needs to happen so that businesses are ready for whatever comes out of the negotiations?
