Mr. Neil McDonnell:

InterTradeIreland was of considerable assistance during the pandemic. It assisted businesses that had pandemic issues. In preparing for Brexit and in its aftermath, it was helpful in the context of issues around customs, excise and VAT. It remains a very valuable entity but it only functions for those businesses with a footprint in Northern Ireland or which trade across the Border. Not all of our people are engaged with IntertradeIreland but it is an excellent agency.
