Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

East Border Region

Mr. Arnold Hatch:

There really has not been that support and, given there is no Assembly, there is no focal point to go to. The chambers of commerce are going to Westminster and Theresa May is coming over here and getting different stories on different visits. Many small businesses are just sitting waiting until somebody tells them what the decision is so they can get the paperwork ready if they have to or do no paperwork if they do not have to. That is the point they are at. However, there is no Government-led support in Northern Ireland. We are a remote north-west corner of the UK, so we are not a big player in the total scheme of things.
