The Cabinet meets in Cork today as part of the Taoiseach's pledge to hold special meetings across the country.

The special Cabinet meeting will then move to UCC, where the morning session will be briefed by Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney on dozens of state agencies preparations for Brexit and the talk of the nightmare scenario this week of no deal.

After lunch, the Cabinet moves to Health with Minister Simon Harris briefing on the reality of the cost of all-party plan slaintecare and the small steps taken towards such a service in this year's Budget.
