Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I met Commissioner Margrethe Vestager last week. She acknowledged that we had the greatest exposure to, and would be the most impacted by, Brexit. The EU stands ready to act urgently. There has been a great deal of contact between my officials and a team at the Commission's office and we have been doing a lot of work in that regard. I am satisfied that the Commissioner is fully aware of the difficult situation that Ireland will find itself in if there is a no-deal Brexit. She has reassured me that she will act quickly on any request that we might make.
