Brexit economic implications
Ó Domhnaill seeks a debate on Brexit’s potential consequences for trade, employment and North-South relations.
At a future time we will all need to reflect on it.
I ask the Leader to facilitate a debate, if possible before the term of this Seanad expires, on the issue of Brexit and the economic implications of the United Kingdom's decision on whether to leave or remain in the European Union. A decision to leave would have huge consequences for the economic opportunities of these islands and, in particular, those in the business community who depend on exporting their goods and services to Britain and the many people from the State who work across the water. We also need to reflect on the North-South dimension. It would be opportune to have such a debate before the conclusion of the Twenty-fourth Seanad at the end of April.
