Considerable work has been done with businesses through the agencies, including local enterprise offices, InterTradeIreland and Enterprise Ireland. A large number of supports have been provided to businesses.

We identified these legislative measures as being necessary to help businesses in the event of a no-deal Brexit. It means we can give them extra supports. Some 85% of Enterprise Ireland's firms are taking Brexit-related actions. A great deal of work is being done. Almost 3,500 companies know how ready they are for Brexit after using the Enterprise Ireland Brexit scorecard as a first step in developing their Brexit plans. A series of nationwide Brexit clinics have been hosted by Enterprise Ireland. The Brexit awareness campaign visited many towns and cities across the country. More than 625 Enterprise Ireland Brexit-exposed companies have completed sustainable growth plans. A great deal of work is under way across the Government.
