Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

All-Ireland Economy: Discussion

Mr. Paul Mac Flynn:

I always answer this question by saying the Single Market for services in the EU is not what it should be anyway. Recent reports on the Single Market point to the lack of complete competition within services. I do not see it as much of a direct issue now but if the EU were to make the Single Market for services much more embedded in the services, particularly consumer services, Northern Ireland would not get any worse but would possibly lose out on benefits occurring in the South.
