Mr. Aidan Gough:

We are not yet sure but we are taking advice on the matter. While I cannot give the Chairman an exact time for publication, it will be published sooner rather than later. We are still confirming the figures. It is very clear, as everyone is well aware, that products in the agrifood sector and agriculture as a whole are at greatest exposure. In the worst case scenario, the tariffs applied to roughly 85% of the approximately 2,200 products traded from North to South and 1,900 products traded South to North would be well below 10%. The biggest risk or exposure from cross-Border trade is that 50% of the trade in goods across the Border is in agrifood, the sector in which tariffs are highest. Again, we are not predicting an outcome but presenting a scenario to enable businesses to start planning on the basis of the information available.

Has InterTradeIreland looked specifically at enterprises along the Border? There are two types of all-island focus. There is all-island aspect but there is also the periphery of the Border. Businesses operating within 30 miles of either side of the Border would have higher exposures. Has InterTradeIreland focused on that?
