Latest trade with EU figures are in, it looks like the numbers are continue to stabilise for both imports and exports. Looking at Dover last week with the half-empty lorry parks I would prefer the evidence of my eyes.

Good news for our Irish contributors:- BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission on Friday gave the green light to Ireland's 989-million-euro ($1.2 billion) plan to recover from the pandemic and transform the economy to become greener and more digitalised in coming years. Ireland will receive grants from the 800-billion-euro European Union recovery fund approved by the 27 member states to help their economies rebound from the pandemic.

Ireland will receive grants from the 800-billion-euro European Union recovery fund approved by the 27 member states to help their economies rebound from the pandemic. I saw it on the news ad nauseum, my initial thought was that it's not much. We announced a few billion overspend on a hospital days before, so it can go towards that I guess.

Puts it into perspective really. Greener generally includes higher taxes so probably pay for some sort of congestion charge somewhere.

As I thought. Is it as at 2020 or 2021 ? Your link is at 2020 and your post at 2021. The source of the " data " on job losses is two anti Brexit twitter accounts. Edited by HKOwen (16 Jul 2021 10.43pm) Edited by HKOwen (16 Jul 2021 10.47pm)

Debt is relative but being the largest trading bloc in the world, the EU is in a much better place to service any debt it has. Still, it's irrelevant to the original posting about how Ireland is being helped by the EU covid recovery fund, which is helping every EU country to open up their economies bringing in revenue.

Really? I think that's the kind of thing people type up and actually believe. When the plug is pulled all the same people will be left struggling in the slipstream....and it won't be the bankers who 'print' the money. All that will differ between us is the size of that debt slipstream. Edited by Stirlingsays (17 Jul 2021 10.33am)

You don't even live in Britain. I don't care what you think about Brexit.
