My Department has been working with the Department of Finance, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Enterprise Ireland and the SBCI to build an understanding of the business needs of companies in adapting to the challenges posed by Brexit and to develop appropriate and targeted responses to support them.

Based on this work, I recently secured the agreement of the Cabinet Committee for Economy, Trade and Jobs to progress the development of a proposed Brexit Working Capital Guarantee Scheme. 

Work on development of the scheme is underway.
