From builders to bankers, Irish business gives its verdict on Brexit

As British prime minister Theresa May formally triggers Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty today to begin Britain’s exit from the European Union, we have asked major Irish stakeholders their view as to the likely impact on them and on the Irish economy. 

From builders to business owners, from farmers to shopkeepers, we have also asked them their views as to what Enda Kenny’s government should be doing to properly prepare and ready the country for Brexit. Some are gloomy, others are more upbeat, but all are agreed, Brexit poses the single greatest economic challenge in recent history.
