Mr Martin said the impact of the UK's exit from the EU has been masked by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said the fallout from Brexit is still to come, as the UK grapples with supply chain delays and truck driver shortages that could cause Christmas disruption to the retail sector.
