Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Brexit and Readiness of Businesses, Employees and Communities: Discussion

Mr. Tom Murray:

Potentially, yes. Until we get clarity on exactly what is required and the day-to-day changes that Brexit will imply at a business level, we are potentially facing chaos. We do not know if imports will come in freely or whether we will be able to export freely. We do not know what level of paperwork will be required or what VAT or other levies may be applied. We are potentially facing chaos because of the lack of instruction and clarity less than 30 days out from Brexit.
