IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland are working with these companies, examining the issues. There is a Brexit response committee comprising different departmental divisions. As recently as 11 April, there was a meeting with all the stakeholders in the agricultural area. Close consultation with Bord Bia, Bord Iascaigh Mhara and Enterprise Ireland is ongoing. Additional resources have been given to those bodies to help them work with the stakeholders, explore the issues and prepare for them. Extra supports for dealing with Brexit-related issues have been given to these companies and bodies. These are the practical actions which are happening now. It is about working in detail with businesses and giving extra resources to those charged with managing and supporting these businesses to deal with the challenges Brexit will pose.
