Implications of Brexit for Irish Exports: Irish Exporters Association

Ms Nicola Byrne:
The supply chain is a huge problem for us. BMW already announced that Minis would not be made in the United Kingdom anymore because it brings in all the parts, makes the cars there and ships them back out to mainland Europe. It has made a firm announcement. The supply chain extended all around Europe. The cars were manufactured in the United Kingdom and shipped out. It does not make sense if anything changes in the current arrangement. We are not the only people trading supply-chain goods with the United Kingdom.
