The ESRI did a very good piece of work on this two years ago and I believe it would be a good idea to ask it to analyse this to see what the impact is and if its original estimations hold.

Regarding my final question, I have concerns in terms of a level playing field and the agreement and that the UK Government has indicated that it intends to erode workers' rights further in the UK. That could affect us the most as the closest country to the UK. Will the Irish Government be monitoring any relaxation or lowering of regulations in the UK that could impact on our industries and jobs?
