Impact of Brexit on the Irish economy
Last month the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) published a report on the impact of Brexit on the Irish economy under a range of scenarios. The report says that the economic impact of Brexit on Ireland will be considerable in either a deal or no-deal scenario with the level of Irish GDP in the long run being 2.6 percent, 4.8 percent or 5.0 percent below where it otherwise would be if Brexit had not happened. It also says the economic shock of Brexit will negatively impact Irish households, businesses, jobs and government finances.
