Mr. Arnold Dillon:

The question asked was whether the activity that we are involved in is fully recognised by our members. The answer is an emphatic "Yes". Our membership base is incredibly plugged in to the risks associated with Brexit and has been since the moment a referendum was mooted in the UK, which was long before the referendum took place. It is something that IBEC has sought to reflect over the course of our work over the last couple of years. Due to that support and recognition by our membership base we have been in a position to significantly resource that sort of work and reorientate our activity accordingly. IBEC has four active headline policy campaign. Two of the campaigns focus on the domestic agenda in terms of the future of work and the quality of life. The remaining two campaigns focus on Brexit and the future of the EU, and on our international reputation. It is absolutely true that Irish business is incredibly aware as a small, open economy, and as an open-minded business community, of the risks and mandated IBEC, as their representative organisation, to reflect that in our work accordingly.
