Michael Noonan: Brexit impact has been 'within anticipated limits'

Finance Minister Michael Noonan and his department have said the Brexit impact has been within anticipated limits.

The department said that, notwithstanding the heavy losses suffered on the financial markets since the result was announced early on Friday, contingency plans both in London and across Europe had factored in such losses.

Mr Noonan, speaking at the national economic dialogue event in Dublin yesterday, said nothing has happened since Friday to impact on the budget for next year, which he will announce in October alongside Public Expenditure and Reform Minister Paschal Donohoe.
