I visited Counties Cavan and Monaghan on Friday 12^thof October when I had a number of different engagements.

In the morning, I visited the Cavan County Museum in Ballyjamesduff, the new Autism Unit in Bailieborough Community School and Bailieborough Courthouse.

In the afternoon, I visited Cootehill where I had the pleasure of turning the sod on the new Holy Family School. Finally, I spoke at a Cross-Border Childcare Conference in Emyvale, Co. Monaghan.

While I had no formal meetings with business people on this visit, I did of course meet a wide variety of invited guests and members of the public at the events I attended. During the course of my visit Brexit was to the fore.

The Cross Border Childcare Conference afforded me the opportunity to engage with those attending on the subject of Brexit.
