Ireland less impacted by Brexit than initially feared

  1. Because the Protocol has been a huge success (but you won’t read that in any media outlets)

  2. Mind you, Brexit hasn’t fully started yet. Lots of checks yet to be implemented as the UK keeps kicking the can down the road because… well… it is going to hurt them.

  3. They gave us plenty of time to prepare for the exit during the ever extending transition periods. If they had their act together and exited quickly we would have be fecked.

  4. Consumers aren’t, no cheap second hand car market, more expensive amazon, delays in stocks from hardware to foods.

  5. Government Departments put a lot of work into researching possible implications from Brexit and how best to counteract them. As someone has already said the UK having such a long transition period worked in our favour and we had time to get workarounds and contingencies in place.

  6. Did this by essentially supplanting GB’s market share in the EU. Not that it’s a bad thing of course. Well, not for Ireland anyways.

  7. How is it even possible to tell properly, between Covid and now inflation crisis it’s not like there’s been a period of normality (whatever that is) to judge
