2017 May 3, "Breatimeacht" (Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Dublin)

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is coordinating the whole-Government response to Brexit.

Tá an Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha agus Trádála ag comhordú freagairt an uile-Rialtais ar an mBreatimeacht.

Dúirt Rúnaí na Breatimeachta, Dominic Raab, go mba fhéidir nach mbeadh aon rogha ag an Ríocht Aontaithe ach an tAontas Eorpach (AE) a fhágáil gan margadh.

2018 October 1, "'Breatimeacht gan margadh an t-aon rogha b'fhéidir'-Dominic Raab" (RTÉ, Dublin)

Secretary of Brexit Dominic Raab said the UK may have no choice but to leave the European Union (EU) without a deal.


Sasamach

Blend of Sasana (“England”) + amach (“out, away”), formed by analogy with English Brexit and punning on Sasanach (“English”)

[…] Mar gheall ar Sasamach, bheadh sé le maíomh againnne, Gaeil, nach teanga riachtanach an Béarla níos mó.

2016 June 20, Sarah de Búrca Sasamach - leas nó aibhleas? (Meon Eile, Belfast)

In the case of Brexit, therefore, if it were announced on Monday morning that it was intended in the first instance to relax the status of English as a working language and to focus on the main official languages of the Member States of the Union, well, I could not say that I would not welcome such a result. […] Because of Brexit, we Gaels would claim that English is no longer a necessary language.
