Government publishes Brexit Readiness Plan and new Brexit
Omnibus Legislation
As negotiations for a long-term trade agreement between the EU
and the UK have made disappointing progress, the Irish government
has decided to plan for the possibility of the UK leaving the
transition period on 31 December 2020 with no long-term trade
agreement in place with the EU. If no agreement is reached, it is
possible that there will be significant disruption to the Irish
economy as trade between Ireland and the UK will be based on World
Trade Organisation rules.
