In addition, Minister Humphreys allocated an extra €5m to the 31 Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs), up 22% on 2018, which have a presence in every county, to support start-ups and growth and in particular to support businesses to prepare for Brexit. Welcoming the increased funding, Minister Breen said “the LEOs will work with the broad range of indigenous enterprises across sectors to ensure that they are informed and have plans in place to manage the new trading relationships on the island and with the UK more generally. This will include a new customs training programme for all businesses, exporters and importers, to be rolled out in conjunction with Enterprise Ireland.”
