A geographic breakdown of trade in services exports/imports between Ireland and Northern Ireland is currently not available as until recently the CSO survey form only requested services with the United Kingdom. However, the new survey now requests services with ‘Great Britain - UK excluding Northern Ireland’ and ‘Great Britain - Northern Ireland’, so this detail should become available in the future.
