The latest quarterly (April - June 2017) InterTradeIreland Business Monitor Survey, shows that, despite the UK voting to leave the EU 12 months ago, the proportion of companies with a plan in place to deal with the potential outcomes of Brexit has remained static at 2 per cent.

This figure only increases to three per cent for those exporting, despite 34 per cent stating that they have already experienced a negative impact due to Brexit. Exporting businesses claim that the lack of clarity around Brexit is stalling planning efforts with more than three quarters (77 per cent) reporting that uncertainty makes it difficult to plan
