80% of firms feel let down over Brexit support

Up to 80% of companies feel the Government is failing to help them sufficiently prepare for life after Ireland’s main trading partner Britain leaves the EU.

A survey by accountancy giant BDO of over 400 firms found Irish businesses feel they are not being provided with enough information to ready themselves for the consequences of Brexit.

While optimism among the companies has waned slightly, it remains high. However, four out of five claim that is despite any level of information or guidance coming from Government, not because of it.
