Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union

Impact of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement: Economic and Social Research Institute

Dr. Martina Lawless:

I would still focus on the food and beverage sector in terms of the impacts on the exporters. As I said, the implementation of Brexit has been somewhat uneven. Checks that were supposed to be introduced by the UK Government in July and October have not yet happened. On the exporter side, there are still some risks to Irish firms that are reliant on the British market. Those checks could further increase the cost of trade on them. Therefore, we may not have seen the full impact on the export side.
