Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar is writing to every business in Ireland in an effort to help them prepare for Brexit.

The letter is being sent to roughly 220,000 businesses across Ireland and is going to set out what they need to do to prepare fully for Brexit.

Considering we are facing a potential no-deal Brexit and as the Covid pandemic continues - it could be argued that the Trade and Employment brief may be an unenviable portfolio at present.

Bobby was joined by the Tánaiste to discuss this, the upcoming budget, the impact of Brexit, how to protect SMEs and dealing with the Covid pandemic over the past 7 months.
