Impact of Brexit on Trade in Ireland: Discussion

My next question is for the Department. It is about the decrease in imports. The Department has outlined some of them. Looking at the Central Statistics Office, CSO, data, we can see food, live animals, beverages, machinery and some other categories have decreased. If they are decreasing, is there an indication of where this is being fulfilled now? Is it coming from imports from the North, is it coming from the EU, or is it a mix? I am aware that not all of the data are available but perhaps the Department has a sense of where it is coming from. I know there is a difficulty recording the cross-sea data.
