In response, the Government is maintaining a coordinated, whole-of-government approach, working with EU partners and industry stakeholders to assess developments. Ireland’s broader policy approach remains focused on strengthening supply chain resilience, including through diversification of supply sources, investment in infrastructure, and contingency planning informed by lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.
