Dear Minister Coveney As one of the networks that has been very active on Brexit and its consequences for the island of Ireland, we have worked with our sister network in the Northern Ireland Environment Link to raise awareness of the many risks to the environment resulting from changes that are likely to result from Brexit. I attach, for your information, our briefing document which we shared with the members of the Barnier team and of the European Parliament Brexit Steering Committee, as well as the Irish Perm Rep, the Northern Ireland Assembly Representation and others during our intensive trip to Brussels last month. In this regard we would welcome the opportunity to join the Brexit Stakeholder Forum.
