Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Capital Investment Plan (Resumed): Irish Exporters Association

4:00 pm

Mr. Simon McKeever:

While we do not have those details, the answer I would give is that we are looking at needing five to seven years to replace any trade we might lose to the UK. That is compounded by a massive hit in rural Ireland and the jobs that might go there, although Mr. Daly has suggested something that might replace some of them. What kind of investment is going to be required to replace the trade that we currently do with the United Kingdom? I will come back to the Deputy but I would think it is fairly substantial.
