Survey finds 1 in 5 Irish companies are not Brexit ready

One in five Irish companies are not Brexit ready, according to a recent Enterprise Ireland survey.

It found that a fifth of companies are “still in the process of understanding what they need to do” ahead of the January 1^st Brexit deadline.

Giles O’Neill, manager of the Brexit Unit with Enterprise Ireland, says he was surprised by the findings, especially since 75% of companies also highlighted customs and logistics as a major issue.

He said that while companies don’t need to panic yet, they do need to take action now and can’t put off measures until the last minute.
