Discussions To Be Held In Leinster House Today Following Brexit Result
The Dail will sit later today to discuss the UK's decision to leave the EU - and its implications for Ireland.
It comes after a Fine Gael MEP warned that any attempt by the EU to raise Ireland's corporate tax rate will result in Ireland leaving the union - as well.
Brian Hayes says corporate tax is a red line issue for the government.
The 12.5% rate undercuts other EU countries in seeking foreign direct investment, and Britain had been an ally in fighting tax harmonisation across Europe.
Mark Fielding from the Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association says the government must do all it can to protect Irish business interests in the wake of Brexit:
