Brexit supports 'too little too late' for Irish firms

Government supports for Irish firms trading in continental Europe are "too little too late" because of the focus on cross-border business, a Cork-based medical service exporter has said.

Owen Curtin of Healthcare 21 said while the main focus was "understandably protecting the backstop", it had led to the Government taking its eye off the ball when it came to the landbridge between Ireland, Britain and mainland Europe.
