Control of Exports Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment

Dr. Eamonn Cahill:

I do not have any specific explanation or story to account for that other than that, as indicated earlier, our statistics across the board exhibit huge variability from year to year. That is a reflection of the small number of exporters. In the military space we have a particularly small number of exporters. Particular success in terms of sales for them and particular patterns of exports changes can have a disproportionate impact on the statistics. I would not necessarily say that it is a trend. It is just a particular spike in that year.
