The Taoiseach has launched the first study showing the impact of Brexit on Cork in UCC.
The study noted that the sectors in the South West region which bore the brunt of the fallout from Britain leaving the European Union included agriculture, finance and industry.
The UCC report showed how Cork managed and mediated the challenges and opportunities posed by Brexit.
As regards tourism the study found that the Cork region was comparatively less affected by shifting tourist numbers than other parts of Ireland.
The report includes recommendations about how Cork might capitalise on the post-Brexit environment through the advancement of trade connections, closer civic links and more direct connections between Cork and different parts of the UK.
