Impact of Brexit on Ireland's Economy: Economic and Social Research Institute
Dr. Kieran McQuinn:
Certainly if the no-deal Brexit comes to pass, there is no doubt about that. I suppose Dr. Lawless would argue as well, in terms of quantifying the impacts on households, that is under the assumption that there is no substitution. It is like an upper bound on the negative impact, but it certainly would have a very adverse impact on households at the lower income side of the distribution.
