Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
European Union-United Kingdom Trade: Discussion
10:00 am
Mr. Steve Harper:
To back up what my colleagues at InterTradeIreland were saying, businesses in Northern Ireland do not like uncertainty as much as business anywhere else on the island of Ireland. Certainly, the new warmer relationship that seems to be brewing between the EU and UK is to be welcomed. Business in Northern Ireland would welcome that. Going back to Deputy Howlin's point on the increased routes from Rosslare to the EU, this helps our companies in Northern Ireland in that we have more access to those EU markets on a more timely basis. Again, that is one of the upsides of some of these disappointing issues. There are presented opportunities.
