Brexit may be a topic on everyone's lips still, but it will eventually pass in significance, and we will be left with the concrete realities of a new financial markets landscape.
In FCSDublin 2019 speakers have been briefed to address the concrete opportunities that exist across the platform rather than dwell on the uncertainties that may exist, such as those surrounding Brexit. It will be in concrete action that continued success will be achieved.
In the August issue of Finance DublinThe August issue references throughout to the effects of Brexit, which has profound consequences for Ireland's international financial services sector. The likelihood is that the impact of Brexit on the IFS sector in Ireland will be a substantial net positive - but just how positive will depend on how the individual players in the industry adapt and capitalise on the 'vast opportunities' that Brexit offers.
These are spelled out in more detail in our Op-ed this month, 'Brexit, a SWOT analysis' .

Editorial: The Finance Dublin 2019 Top Twenty Accountancy Survey is a strong indicator of the health of the Irish International Financial Services industry 
The results of the Finance Dublin 2019 Top Twenty Accountancy Survey are strong evidence that the post Brexit Irish IFS model is working. Furthermore, the findings of the survey, taken in conjunction with the commentary in this issue by the Managing Partners of Ireland's leading firms provide strong grounds for concluding that Brexit will be a net positive for the Irish economy as a whole, and not just the most outstanding elements of it, such as the international financial services industry. Clearly, the 13%+ growth rate recorded in the past two years is evidence of the continuing buoyancy of the island economy - the survey figures confirm this. They also give encouraging evidence of the broad based nature of it - including the agribusiness sector, and Northern Ireland too; the fee data from 8 of the largest firms in the survey relates to business they conduct on an all-island basis.
