Carolyn Fairbairn and Frances O'Grady, the leaders of the Confederation of Irish Industry (CBI) and the Trades Union Congress (TUC), have written a joint letter to UK Prime Minister Theresa May, requesting an urgent meeting to discuss the Brexit "national emergency". The leaders urged May to rule out a no-deal Brexit scenario, to secure an extension to Article 50, and alter her deal in a way that protects workers, protects the economy and secures an open British border. The leaders warned that Irish businesses aren't prepared for a no-deal Brexit.
