No-deal Brexit may see 73,000 jobs lost by 2021

There could be 73,000 fewer jobs in Ireland by 2021 if Britain crashes out of the EU without a deal at the end of the month.

Regions reliant on agricultural employment, including the south-west, the midlands, the mid-west, and the mid-east, will be worst affected in the case of a no-deal Brexit, according to the Central Bank, which also forecasts a slow down in wage growth and a dent in consumer spending in this scenario.
