Absolutely. We have a responsibility to support the industry but the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation has the lead in ensuring that the different industry stakeholders are Brexit ready. It has been doing a great deal of work in that regard.

For our part, we have supported them in doing that. I have had discussions with the Construction Federation of Ireland. It is also about ensuring that the supply chain is secure in relation to CE standards and so on, and that all this is being progressed by the relevant Departments in terms of any necessary primary or secondary regulations. Housing is the only area in which the Department is involved in Brexit planning.
