Earlier Dr. Kelly referenced the way we export to the UK, primarily as SMEs. I know exactly what he was talking about because I have been involved in those SMEs. A company will do Ireland and want to grow so it will jump to the UK and Europe. However, America is so far away that many companies never get there. What is Dr. Kelly's view on the impact of a possible economic downturn in the UK? Does he think it is relevant?
