From the discussions I have had with the Commission to date I believe there will be. The Commission's intention is to support Ireland in the various challenges we could face. In regard to what we will do for SMEs, we will do all we can to provide support and help to different parts of our economy in the event of a disorderly Brexit. I do not want to understate just how challenging and disruptive that will be. Any Brexit scenario we could face will be different from the status quo. The Government, with support from Europe, will provide help and support.

It will still be very different from today.
