The Irish government has unveiled a series of measures designed to protect the economy from a Brexit shock. The package aims to protect foreign investment, boost tourism and reduce the exposure of farmers in the wake of the collapse of sterling. A tax relief programme designed to help foreign investors move staff from the US and elsewhere to Ireland is to be extended until the end of 2020. The programme is designed to allow employers to relocate employees from overseas offices with minimal tax complications. At the same time the government has released a sector by sector analysis of the impact Brexit could have on trade with Britain.
