Ireland.

[Sqad]

I need a little information here.

7% of UK´s exports go to Ireland.his is greater than our exports to Russia, India, China and Brazil combined, so if we assume that these amount to 6%, then the total UK exports yo these aforementioned countries is 13%, then to where do we export the remaining 87%?

[squarebear]

The other 190+ countries I assume.

Your question and the answers are that more than 50% of our trade is done with Europe should dispel those who hate us having anything to do with Europe. They are our bread and butter!

[DTCwordfan]

Bet US and rest of EU makes up 70%

This is probably not goint to cost us anything

We will borrow the money and lend it to Ireland at an interest rate that covers our costs.

It was noted on the Radio today that the Irish banks owe money to the British banks I think we can see the sudden desire to lend money to Dublin is more than just a sudden rush of charity at number 11 Downing Street
