My department is conducting a number of research projects to build an understanding of the possible implications of Brexit on Ireland for trading relations, enterprise and consumers. These studies will provide an evidence base to inform Ireland’s policy positions as part of the wider negotiation on the UK’s future relationship with the EU and help to inform our broader policy response to Brexit. The details of the Brexit related research currently being commissioned by my Department is as follows:
