Exports to non-EU countries hit an all time high of 3.487bn in May but fell by 943 million in June when we exported 2.544bn, figures released by the Central Statistics Office showed yesterday.

However, NCB chief economist Dermot O'Brien said the massive decline in exports seemed to be a once-off the from the high achieved in May and said timing and other factors could be at play.
