The Irish Central Border Area Network (ICBAN) Ltd. – the cross-border group of local authorities for the Central Border Region – together with a small team from Queen’s University Belfast are conducting a second research project on the impacts of Brexit for people living and working in this Region.

The Bordering on Brexit report revealed the views of local communities one year on from the referendum result. This follow-on study, ‘Brexit at the Border’, aims to take account of recent developments and discussions on the issue of the Irish border a year away from the date the UK is due to leave the EU.

We invite you to complete this 10 minute survey on the impact of Brexit on the Central Border Region.
We welcome responses from anyone living or working in areas of Armagh City Banbridge and Craigavon; Cavan; Donegal; Fermanagh and Omagh; Leitrim; Mid Ulster; Monaghan; and Sligo.

The online survey is now live at https://tinyurl.com/ICBAN-Brexit and will close on Monday 16th April at 5pm.
