Mr. Shane Enright:

We have talked about the motor trade contribution. The monthly figures are quite volatile but it is possible to identify broad patterns through the year. They are sectors associated with durable goods and construction. Sales of things like paint and white goods are generally up. The other trend we can see is bar sales are flatter or falling depending on the period examined. Also, the grocery sector is down slightly in year-on-year terms as consumers are prioritising value over volume in that sector. The sectors doing best are in the durable goods side rather than services or grocery.
