The EU/North South Unit of my Department has overall responsibility for coordinating issues relating to Brexit within the Department. It represents the Department on the Inter-Departmental Committee on EU/UK Relations, which is chaired by the Department of the Taoiseach, and also supports me in my role as a member of the Cabinet Committee on Brexit.

Brexit features on the agenda of the Department's Management Board as well as the Principal Officer Forum, both of which have received detailed briefings within the last month and will continue to do so.

Brexit has been reflected in the Department's Risk Register since before the UK Referendum and will feature in the Department's forthcoming Statement of Strategy for 2016-2019.
