Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We have standing regional enterprise plan steering committees, which are made up of Enterprise Ireland, the IDA, the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, the local authority, the universities and the local enterprise offices, as well as local stakeholders. They are exactly the same people one would call together to be on a task force and it is now a standing arrangement. I am not ruling out creating a task force but I would argue we have one already, and the regional enterprise plan steering committee can take on the role.

I do not know if Molex meets the criteria for the globalisation fund and we will have to check that out. If it does, we can certainly make an application, while if it does not, we cannot, but that can be checked out without any undue delay. Enterprise Ireland and the IDA already have direct contact with their various client companies and engage with them regularly on what the impacts of Brexit or trade movements would be.
