Exporters to weather Brexit storm: Noonan

Michael Noonan, the former finance minister, said he is confident Irish exporters will be “able to cope” in the event the UK crashes out of the EU with no Brexit deal. Mr Noonan said “uncertainty” generated by the British parliament over its plans to exit the EU by March 29 is “bad for business, bad for investment, and bad for trade”.

However, he said he believes Irish exporters can “ride out” a no-deal storm, adding that Ireland should not be overly concerned about Brexit.
