It has lowered Ireland's growth predictions by zero-point-2 per cent for 2016 and zero-point-6 per cent for 2017.
Chief Economist, Gabriel Fagan, says some sectors of the Irish economy – including agriculture, clothing and tourism – depend on exports to the UK and could be hit by their decision to leave the EU.
However, it's not all bad news: the Central Bank is projecting an increase in employment by 67-thousand over the next two years.
