IRISH EXPORTS TO Canada could double under a new trade agreement recently signed by the EU.
The European Movement Ireland is predicting that exports could grow by as much as €1.2 billion as a direct upshot of the deal.
The impact of the Canadian trade deal, along with another pact with the US which is in the works, was discussed at a seminar in Dublin this morning that was attended by Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Leo Varadkar.
Also at the meeting was the EU’s top civil servant, Catherine Day.
Paul Mahon, president of Canadian insurance powerhouse Great-West Lifeco, which bought Irish Life last year, predicted a boom in transatlantic trade spurred on by the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
“It is estimated that CETA could raise bilateral trade by 23 per cent of €26 billion. The benefist are expected to be €11.6 billion for Europe and €8.2 billion for Canada.”
Catherine Day said that “Ireland is well placed to take up and and benefit from these opportunities as economic recovery in the EU strengthens”.

If I was born into a life of wealth and privilege, call me a spare or anything else for that matter!!
@Paul Shepherd: though I like he is shaking things up, and I absolutely loved the gospel choir at the wedding. Pity the Monarchy/ British press wasn’t ready for diversity.

@Seamus Quaide: expensive toilet roll don’t you think? worse books have been written by worse people.
Fairplay to him. Everyone seems to hate him yet he’s making a shit ton of cash from his Netflix show and book.
I watched the interview just to be sure of my facts, swear to god and deeply regret losing that time. J, M and St Joseph, between Social media and gullible people paying him £125m+ and the cost of living crisis, is it any wonder the World is in the State it is in. Given the Brits immigration policies and their history, did alarm bells not go off in his head when he brought Megan home to Granny&Daddy. Stiiff upper lips must have crashed to the floor.
