The BBC news highlighted the ‘5 years of hardship faced by the UK’. They must have got that from another source and ‘improved’ it then.

In some instances yes, but not here . . . economic indicators, pipelines, new regulations, restricted access to the world's biggest market just a few miles away.

I do believe the population that voted to leave believed the lies that were thrown at them left, right and centre about immigrants, independence, economic opportunities, the NHS etc...

They were fools and we still have posters here who support the move despite all indicators that is was/is a disaster.

Except that it was predicted repeatedly by the sentient on this thread and its predecesor for years before BREXIT, obviously.

As I have said repeatedly and consistently since 2016, Brexit was an act of socio-economic self harm perpetrated by the ignorant, the deluded, the stupid and the credulous manipulated and hoodwinked by marginal right wing Tory dinosaurs, their tax evading shills and opportunist tenth rate politicians seeking power in circumstances not otherwise available to them.

Subsequent events and Britain’s continuing economic decline is testament to the accuracy of my opinion as indeed is the devaluation of £ sterling.

Britain’s debt burdens cannot sustain the continuing loss of growth represented by the return of tariff riddled trade with 450 million consumers only 22 miles distant who were a market for 50% of Britain’s entire manufacturing output contributing 10% of its annual GDP when free trade was the norm.

But if one needed any more evidence of this criminally stupid act by the lumpen Brexit loons then simply ask the morons one simple question: what is it that you can now sell to the world that you couldn’t before Brexit? Still waiting for a fucking answer.

In the meantime, another year passes, another £100 billions is lost to the economy.

Hello Beatrice. Yeah nah, you're talking out your bum about Ireland performing worse than post-Brexit UK.


Ireland hits record trade of €842bn amid export boom.



POSTED BY: EURO FINANCIAL REVIEW JULY 25, 2022

Ireland recorded its highest ever trade value of €842 billion in 2021, according to the Irish government’s Trade and Investment Report for last year.

Growth in the economy in 2021 was driven largely by a record €451 billion of exports.

Minister for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, Robert Troy, published the report.

Ireland’s record performance was set against the backdrop of ongoing trading challenges and geopolitical disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brexit, growing protectionism, trade tensions, and global tax developments.

Almost half of Ireland’s workforce — about 1.3 million jobs — is now underpinned by international trade and investment.

Over the past decade, Ireland’s trade in goods and services has increased by 171% from €310 billion to over €840 billion.

Troy said: “Last year we recorded our best trade performance despite the difficult trading environment and ongoing global challenges.

“The Irish economy grew by 13.5%, a result of our strong export performance. Yet when it comes to trade and investment, we cannot be complacent.

“So much of our economic prosperity hinges on our trading performance. Our ability to avoid a recession in the wake of the pandemic was driven largely by our ability to attract investment and trade goods and services internationally.

“This resilience in the face of uncertainty enables us to invest in critical services and infrastructure, and is vital as we navigate continuing global uncertainty …

“The mid-year results from our enterprise agencies further underscore the impressive growth and resilience of our enterprise base. This is an excellent position to be in the first half of the year, and indications are positive for a strong continued performance in 2022.

“Enterprise Ireland and IDA do incredible work to support enterprises, from helping Irish businesses access new markets and expand their operations to attracting foreign investment into our regions.

“Our trade policy is focussed on creating jobs and improving quality of life for all across the island, but these benefits are not one-way. I have seen for myself on trade missions the value and positive impact Irish companies are making in the markets they operate.

“Our strong trading partnerships enable us to innovate and grow, it maintains competitiveness and it increases consumer choice.

“As we look ahead, we must be mindful of the trading environment; ongoing supply chain snarl ups, rising costs of energy as a result of the unjustified war in Ukraine, the need to digitise, and the urgency to address climate change each present challenges for our enterprise sector.

“Throughout the pandemic Government demonstrated its commitment to support businesses and this commitment has not waned and we will continue to support businesses through global uncertainty.”

Exports to the Eurozone increased by 28% in 2022, with the Eurozone now representing 25% of all exports by Enterprise Ireland backed companies. Expansion in trade with the Eurozone has taken place in tandem with strong Irish exports to the UK post-Brexit.

Exports to the Eurozone increased by 28%, reaching €7.9 billion.

Oh, there's more.


Ireland's real GDP growth for 2023 is revised upwards to 4.9%, and it is thereafter expected to expand by 4.1% in 2024 (compared to 3.2% and 3.1% respectively in the autumn). Going forward, sentiment indicators point to an improving outlook, partly driven by falling inflation towards the end of the year. The Irish labour market continues to perform very well, with the unemployment rate at 4.3% in December. Despite news on some “big tech” companies reducing their staff worldwide in autumn, with yet no visible negative impact in Ireland where the multinational sector has increased employment in 2022 by 9%. Employment expectations in December were also improving.

The Commission estimates that almost one year after Russia launched its war of aggression against Ukraine, the EU economy entered 2023 on a better footing than projected in autumn. The Winter interim Forecast lifts the growth outlook for this year to 0.8% in the EU and 0.9% in the euro area. Both areas are now set to narrowly avoid the technical recession that was anticipated for the turn of the year. The forecast also slightly lowers the projections for inflation for both 2023 and 2024.

Brexiteers need to put down the crack pipe. You fucked yourselves over good & proper & it's time to admit that you swallowed a load of propaganda about Johny Foreigner forcing you to eat bendy barnarnas & the invasion of Turks. You lot are still in the denial stage whereas anyone & everyone with a functioning brain can see the absolute mess the UK has made of their economy.

In fairness the pikies have had their snout in the EU trough for years and yet ironically it was the British who bailed them out in their time of need.

Exports to the EU countries, which accounts for 37 % of irish exports, fell by 4 % to 61,5 billion Euro.

Irelands imports from the EU rose by 13 % to 24,3 billion, which accounts for 33 % of irish imports.

Irish exports hit their highest-ever level in 2021 while trade with Northern Ireland surged (thejournal.ie)

Hmm

Statistics

842 billion is a hefty export for Ireland.

Nothing to do with Ireland's taxhaven status ?

All lies and statistics, sales revenue routed through pikieland as the Corp tax rate is 12.5%.

Yes, it is a fact that Ireland was a net recipient of EU funds from 1973 until 2018 when its wealth finally ensured it became a net contributor and signalled its transformation from a poor and antiquated agricultural economy into a sophisticated trading and manufacturing force. Not bad really, a mere 45 years in order to recover from 400 years of colonial subjugation by the filthy English during which the occupation killed over a million Irish by starvation and forced another million to emigrate, a quarter of its population.
And now the average earnings of the Irish are the third highest in the EU, more than that prevailing in the UK, and in real terms the economy is booming compared to that of the scummy English whose collective arse is hanging out of its trousers with its burgeoning underclass reliant on charity for their food.
Yep, we “ Pikies “ have done rather well compared to you English dross, ‘ Arry.
As Douglas Adams said, “ thanks for the fish” you fucking loser.
Har, har.

For your information:

The phenomenon of migration from Ireland is recorded since the Early Middle Ages,^[1] but it can be quantified only from around 1700. Since then, between 9 and 10 million people born in Ireland have emigrated. That is more than the population of Ireland itself, which at its historical peak was 8.5 million on the eve of the Great Famine. The poorest of them went to Great Britain, especially Liverpool. Those who could afford it went further, including almost 5 million to the United States.^[2]
