My understanding is that the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment is carrying out the review but I would appreciate a detailed note on this from the Department when it is available. I have been told by some companies that they are under pressure and it is a very serious matter. We are one of the few countries in this part of the world that does not have a state-backed export credit insurance scheme or, in fact, a strong private scheme either. A briefing on that would be useful. I am told that Brexit is having an impact on this and, therefore, more information would be useful. Have any of our guests anything to say on this?
