Firms risk post-Brexit trade ban over ‘incorrect’ licences

Half of Irish firms trading with Britain risk being blocked from continuing the UK deals if there is a no-deal Brexit in 11 days time because they do not have the “minimum” licences to do so.

Fianna Fáil finance spokesman Michael McGrath raised the multi-million euro industry concern after it emerged that tens of thousands of companies still do not have the right paperwork for the post-Brexit deals.
