DUBLIN - Some of the Irish businesses most exposed to the risk of Britain crashing out of the European Union in 10 weeks are not very well prepared, Ireland’s government warned on Thursday.
Directly appealing to “a number of sectors of concern”, the government said its contingency plans indicated that retailers, hauliers, manufacturers, agrifood businesses — particularly those in food production — and construction companies were poorly prepared. Talks over avoiding a no-deal Brexit remain firmly stuck on the issue of the Irish backstop - an insurance policy to keep the open border between British-run Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland open under all circumstances after Brexit.
