There is a firm commitment from the Government to publish detailed sectoral reports in response to Brexit. When we raised this issue with the Taoiseach two weeks ago, he informed us that no deadline for the publication of any of these reports had yet been released. Brexit started a year ago. The Irish food and drinks industry estimates that trade has fallen by about €570 million in the past year and that it could fall by twice that amount this year, yet not only do we not have detailed sectoral reports from any Minister, we also have not even had a release date or an indication as to when they might be expected. At this point, are there dates for publication of the detailed sectoral plans in response to Brexit?
