Brexit and Northern Ireland
Tens of thousands cross between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland every day to work. Matthew Gwyther finds out how businesses are preparing for life outside the EU.
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with the European Union. It voted to stay in the EU in last year’s referendum. Tens of thousands cross between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland every day to work. Matthew Gwyther, the editor of Management Today, travels across Northern Ireland to find out how businesses – large and small – are preparing for life outside the EU and what the potential impact is for the vitally important agriculture industry.
