Cork eyes opportunity from Brexit

Ireland and Cork have great short-term opportunities following the fallout from Brexit — but have no doubt that the UK will fight back aggressively, especially for foreign direct investment.

That was one of the key messages from the Cork Chamber Brexit Breakfast yesterday, as guest speakers told of both the great opportunities to be exploited as well as the challenges.

Minister for European Affairs Dara Murphy was joined by Barry Heavey of IDA Ireland and chairman of Enterprise Ireland Terence O’Rourke at the event, held in association with the Irish Examiner.
