I recently launched a brochure which outlines all the different supports we are providing to businesses through the agencies and directly. I recently announced the €300 million Brexit loan scheme. Bord Bia, the Health and Safety Authority and a whole list of agencies are supporting people on Brexit. It is a very short document and is on the Department's website. I believe I also provided it to every Deputy. It outlines what we are doing in preparing for Brexit. I urge companies to contact their local enterprise office. Many supports are available.

We got approval from the European Union for the €10 million rescue and restructure scheme, to be administered by Enterprise Ireland. We have developed a number of different initiatives. IDA Ireland staffing is at a record high and Enterprise Ireland is increasing its staff. Many supports are available and people need to use them. I encourage people to get this very useful brochure.
