New CSO figures suggests Irish exports and all Ireland trade continue to benefit from Brexit deal

The CSO figures show exports from the Republic across the Irish Sea into Britain rose to almost €1.5bn from €969m, and accounted for 8% of total goods exports from Ireland.

Overall exports of goods from the Republic to the world rose to almost €20bn in from July last year to August 2022, an increase of over €4bn.

Exports to Britain surged by 59% in the months leading to August, when compared with the same eight month period last year, due to high demand for chemical products. 

These figures suggest the economy north and south continues to benefit from Brexit and the Northern Ireland Protocol deal, as all-Ireland trade continued to expand as well.
