Push to win business through free trade deals

A major push to win new business with Mexico, Korea, Canada, and Japan is to be made as part of the Government’s Brexit-proofing efforts.

Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald has commissioned an examination of the economic opportunities that may be available to Ireland through EU Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).

It comes after hauliers warned even minor changes to the border after Brexit could have catastrophic effects on the industry.
