Businesses detail losses in wake of Brexit decision

Businesses exporting to Britain have been detailing their losses in the wake of Britain’s decision to leave the EU in June.

Business groups, human rights campaigners and academics were among those attending the first all-island civic dialogue in Dublin today.

CEO of Silverhill Duck farm Micheal Briody, based in Emyvale, Co Monaghan, said two thirds of their exports go to the UK, and they’ve seen their prices plummet with the fall in Sterling.

However, he added Brexit will provide opportunities as well as threats.

Hundreds of interest groups were represented at this first all-island dialogue on Brexit, but Unionists declined the invitation - a missed opportunity according to Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan.

He said: "There will, however, be further opportunities, including in the North-South Ministerial Council."

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has warned the negotiations could turn vicious – and believes they could be triggered before March 2017, and as early as December.

Downing Street has reportedly rubbished that idea.
