EU Exit: Impacts, Implications, Opportunities and Threats for Local Councils in Northern Ireland
The research has sought to identify the direct impacts, implications, opportunities and threats of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union upon local government policies and resources in Northern Ireland, with a specific emphasis on the areas of local council business most affected.
The Actions Paper is designed to be practical in its nature through identifying the broad array of areas of council business, whereby EU Exit is having/likely to have an impact; before exploring a smaller number of these in more depth and their implications, opportunities and threats, and identifying actions which local councils will need to take in response in the medium to long term.
This Actions Paper presents the core findings of several roundtable discussions with officers and members from Northern Ireland’s 11 Local Councils between January and June 2021. Conversations were also held with representatives of Manufacturing NI, the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Invest NI.
