#ExportBrexit - In the 'Top 150 Born in Ireland' report, according to the Irish Exporters Association (IEA), leading companies in that sector generated around €140bn in turnover last year.

Collectively the entire list reported €139.5bn in sales with businesses in the construction and engineering sector amounting to the second-largest proportion of contributors.
