Will the budget contain a Brexit package, in particular for SMEs operating in sectors that are potentially very exposed to the outcome of Brexit? Some complacency may now be entering the debate on this issue because of the growing likelihood of a transition period after March 2019 but that is not certain and we do not know what we would be transitioning to, which is an important point. Is the Minister considering specific measures such as enhanced supports through Enterprise Ireland, taxation elements and the issuance of cash flow? A good scheme for the agri sector was implemented in recent months and was snapped up. Will the budget contain a Brexit package?
