Ireland must adopt measured approach to Brexit challenge

Since the Brexit referendum there has been quite a bit of criticism of the Irish Government because it has not come out and published a contingency plan for Ireland to deal with the UK decision.

Given that we still have no idea how the saga is going to unfold, I find it a bit bizarre that media and others should level such criticism.

Even if a detailed contingency plan is in place, which I very much doubt, it would be naïve in the extreme to come out and talk about it, given that there are still so many unknown unknowns.
