Ms Pamela Arthurs:

It is fair to say there has been an awful lot more support here than in Northern Ireland, where there has been very little support for businesses. Councillor O'Hanlon referred to InterTradeIreland, but Northern Ireland businesses have not had much support for something that is so dramatic. Change is always difficult, but there has not been that support on the northern side of the Border. We heard about Brexit fatigue a year ago from people here. We have not had it in Northern Ireland, apart from my children saying they are sick listening to it on the news, and asking why, if it is all that bad, people are continuing with it. There has not been that support or that leadership in Northern Ireland that there has been here, where the local enterprise offices, LEOs, have been working consistently with businesses and there have been a number of workshops. We have not had the same degree of support when there is the same need in Northern Ireland.
