dc.description.abstract | Trade with the UK is one of the oldest Irish economic policy issues. It remains
highly topical today. When Ireland, on joining the EMS in 1979, broke the currency
link with Sterling there were fears of negative implications for our trade with the
UK. The dilemma was that should Sterling depreciate against the EMS currencies, a
significant strain would be placed on the competitiveness of Irish firms exporting to
the UK or competing against UK firms in the domestic and third country markets.
Irish industry could therefore find itself in a position akin to standing with one foot
on each of two wagons which could move apart at any time. Against that the EMS
currencies, and in particular the Deutschmark, offered the prospect of lower inflation
for Irish enterprise in the longer-run. | en |
