Ireland was the UK’s fourth-biggest export market last year, ahead of France, China and even India, the largest economy in the Commonwealth.

    One can only wonder how much more the export would have been without brexit then.

      Well, we can look at how much our closest trading partners have exported to Ireland with no brexit

      France looks to have doubled their trade to Ireland in the same period, and from a lower base, so we could conclude that brexit hasn’t affected UK Ireland trade negatively.

      Number emigrating from UK to Ireland has dropped a bit vs 2016, Ireland to UK are about the same. Numbers are negligible and skewed with the CTA.

        I wasn’t being literal, meant it as a dig on the Tories making the UK increasingly unlivable 🤷

        Thanks for doing the research though, I respect the effort 🙂
