Global Business: Ireland’s Brexit Challenge

Ireland’s economy is hugely interlinked with its next-door neighbour, the UK, in everything from transport to food exports to finance. Can those links be kept after the UK leaves the EU, or will Irish business have to change direction and focus more on its expanding global role in areas such as pharmaceuticals and data processing and storage?

Ruth Alexander travels to Ireland to find out how businesses large and small are preparing for Brexit, and what challenges - and opportunities - they see.
