Shane Ross: Plans in place for Brexit but we’ll have to wait and see

The Government has “several contingency plans” to deal with the challenge posed by the Brexit fallout, Tourism Minister Shane Ross said yesterday.

He was speaking after Tourism Ireland revealed 2016 is set to be the best ever year for Irish tourism, surpassing all previous records.

By the end of the year, 10.5m people will have visited the country, north and south, an 11% increase over 2015 with growth recorded in all markets.
