Ireland’s business development agency is encouraging female entrepreneurs to ramp up exports to the UK, saying Brexit should be approached like any other business risk.

Sarita Johnston, female entrepreneurship manager at Enterprise Ireland (EI), rejected suggestions that it may be irresponsible to urge small businesses to expand trade with Britain while post-Brexit arrangements are still in up in the air.
