The Cabinet Committee on Brexit has met 6 times to date - on 8 September, 19 October, 7 November, 24 November, 20 December and 17 January.

The Committee oversees the overall Government analysis and response, including the implications of Brexit for Ireland, preparation for the negotiations at EU level and engagement with the administrations in London and Belfast. Brexit is also discussed regularly at meetings of the Government.

Brexit has been a matter of regular and detailed consideration by Government for some time, both in advance of the UK EU Referendum and since.

The Cabinet Committee will continue to meet on a regular basis to deal with Brexit related issues and is scheduled to meet again later in February.
