Ms Mary Buckley:

From an IDA Ireland perspective, our clients are taking Brexit seriously. Many of our client companies in Ireland are part of larger organisations. At corporate level, they consider both the opportunities and challenges presented by Brexit. Suffice it to say, that work is ongoing.

Deputy James Lawless asked about immigration and our comment on research opportunities and the like for Ireland. For us, talent is key - the attraction of talent is critical. There is an opportunity for Ireland in people seeking to move to where they will feel welcome and wanted and where they will have opportunities. This, undoubtedly, will be an advantage for Ireland.

On remits, we work closely with Enterprise Ireland. Our role is to engage in the multinational environment and ensure that not only will companies establish in Ireland, but that they will also sustain and expand their activities here. We work very closely with our sister agency, Enterprise Ireland, on companies' client bases and in ensuring their level of expenditure and engagement with indigenous companies is strong.
