I appreciate that it may be early days for some of the data, but it is helpful to get a handle on the trend.
Does Ms Hearty have an idea of how many companies in the South have diverted supply chains from Britain to the North? Has there been a consequent benefit of that in reduced transport costs, because people are not travelling as far, reduced emissions, or an increase in trade and jobs? Does InterTradeIreland have a view on that and what the implications have been around percentage and contribution to trade?
