Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Brexit and Readiness of Businesses, Employees and Communities: Discussion
Mr. Fergal O'Brien:
From IBEC's perspective, the priority is to take the contingency fund that was put in place in the budget and translate it into some specific support measures that we think will be needed, especially in the case of no deal. Irrespective, we need to face the new trading relationship from 1 January and to try to advance this issue of the export credit insurance, which is crucial to help companies to diversify out of the UK.
