A survey of Irish chief executives has found a sharp drop in confidence about the Irish economy, while political uncertainty is a concern. The survey, by PwC, was carried out before the outcome of Britain's referendum on leaving the EU.

71 per cent of CEOs are still positive about the outlook for Ireland's economy, but this is down from 92 per cent last year, while 87 per cent saida British vote to leave the EU would have a negative impact.
