    So it looks like our neighbours are out.
    That was a bit of a shock,

    what are the implications?
    GBP will fall. So beef trade fecked?
    Will others follow suit, referendums called in other countries.
    Northern Ireland & Scotland split from UK
    Should we be worried or will it all go back to normal after couple of months

    Today could be a good day to buy a car or tractor up the north
    I'd say sterling will take some hit when market's open it already has against the dollar
    As for farmers here I'm sure it will be used as an excuse to cut prices we receive but if prices are cut any further they won't get the product as they are already paying less than the cost of production.
    It will be further compounded if there are cuts to CAP .

    uk farming community are going to regret this one

    agriculture unlike here is way down the pecking order in term GDP and thus grant support

    me think it will be a few years before things settle after an intiial shock of exiting

    nothing can happen over night

    good luck to them...brave move and maybe this time 2018 we'll be here looking on in jealousy

    This is not a good day for us up here. Do not like the implications of this one bit. I am actually in shock.

    This has to be the death sentence for the EU.

    Other right wing groups in countries like France will look to follow. Will France/Germany now carry an increased financial burden, this will be a deal breaker.

    aparrently it's a two year process for them to leave. This will bring them up to 2019, doesn't this coincide with cap renegotion ?? I'd say cap funding for countries like Ireland will be badly hit.

    We won't be allowed strike a trade deal with the U.K., Brussels won't want leaving to look like a big success and I expect them to play proper hard ball in trade negotiations.

    I don't see a positive in this for us.

    I'm thinking of my dad, he made quite a living smuggling everything that would go in a van or onto a truck.

    Only the army will be deployed to the border again. Lots of manoeuvres in dundalk and bundoran regions the last few months. We are the only land border of eu to England now. How quick it will happen I can't say but we have been told to prepare.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,741 ✭✭✭CloughCasey1


    How much beef and dairy produce is exported from Britain to rest of EU? Will that be affected and is it something we can tap in on?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,718 ✭✭✭✭_Brian


    Wonder now will we pick up on multinationals based in the UK that need a base in the EU.
    Might bring in some more good paying jobs with them ?? Surely another English speaking country would be the easiest move ??

    Whatever about the EU this is definitely the death sentence of the 300 year union of England and Scotland. Northern Ireland's position is looking increasingly tenuous in a more insular looking English parliament.
    A quick browse through the last 1000 years of history shows that such upheaval in unions between countries is quite normal.
    A partitioned Ireland and a joined England and Scotland is actually a very unusual unnatural scenario in the context of history.

    The leave campaigners were promising cheaper food imports,
    Our agri exports are going to take some hit if that happens

    Just looking at a map of EU with UK gone we are very isolated, we are nearly as far from EU now as Iceland is from us.

    I reckon the border will be on the coast of N. Ireland, we've all got used to free travel, and both N.Ireland and Scotland voted to remain in EU.

    I think the price of beef could be the least of our problems. An awful lot depends on trade deals now.

    At least I don't have shares in ryanair;););)

    Listening to the radio this morning you would swear the world had ended.Rte seem to think this is the worst thing since the last worst thing that happened.
    Could end up like the y2k scare,the "we are all gonna die from bird flu" scare,the post 9.11 terrorism scare,the sellafield cancer scare,the chernobyl scare,the ozone hole layer etc etc.
    Bet you all that in 5 years time nobody will even remember the details.

    Chances of the Irish army being deployed back on the border this year ?Laughable and an example of the hyperbole people feel is necessary to be seen to be taking this in a serious manner.
    Nobody died and talks will drag out for years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,718 ✭✭✭✭_Brian


    Mortgage is a very sweet 0.45 on top of base rate with Ulster Bank.

    How the hell is this going to work out ?? My mortgage will be with a non eu bank ??

    Say what ya like but we have been preparing to be deployed. Anyone on the border region will have noticed that the border patrols from finner camp and dundalk bks started back up around 2 months ago.

    Actual exit ,if it even happens ,will take 2 plus years at a minimum.Thats without taking into account any Irish/British agreement re. our common border.
    In reality the "border" ceased to exist years ago and chances are that it will not be reappearing anytime soon.
    Increased border patrols sound like some civil servants wet dream to show how ready and aware he was of the terrible threat brexit would pose to the lives of those living in close proximity to non believers(in the all powerful cult of the EU)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,275 ✭✭✭orm0nd


    keep calm,

    nothing is going to happen overnight,

    long term implications don't look too good however.

    don't go making any rash decisions or changes

    You stated the army would not be deployed and it was only scaremongering on people's part to say so and that it was an impossibility. I'm just saying we have been preparing for deployment for a while. The army likes to have all angles covered. Don't know if it will happen or the time frame it will happen as I stated earlier. You hardly think I want to be up there. The BSE birder controls were enough for me.

    Any ire/uk deal will have to be part of their eu negeoations. And if there is a border it will have to be in place before they leave so we can close the door after them

    Don't worry lads. If we end up on the border I'll look after ye first crossing with the did bit if machinery/cattle. After the appropriate admin fee is paid but there will be a boardsie discount of course ;)

    Remember Enda claiming to have the army mobilised to defend the ATMs in one of the worst things to happen lately.. Thank god we we have a steady hand on the helm. Enda would know what to with a rash now if a decision has to be made.

    Depends if rumors are correct if they want to ban potentially the Dutch and The Italians also!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,135 ✭✭✭kowtow


    Note that UK markets are down much less than EU markets. Sterling is no worse than it was in the thinly traded Asian market overnight.

    There's a very bumpy road ahead, but they are more agile as a country than they were yesterday. Also a huge political boil has been lanced so in some ways I would say the sense of a new freedom is tangible.

    What was notable in the campaign is that even those who wanted to stay in could hardly be described as fans of the eu... there is no passion for it.

    Thanks be to god I was in the LEB for that.
    Last time I was stationed on the border was 99. I'd say our 21 will be nearly up by the time we see boots on the ground up there not taking into account familiarisiation patrols etc. It's looking like it would be 2 years from next October at the earliest that any border would be re-established if ever. I'm hearing the same talk as yourself but allot of that is the lad's on the big bucks wanting to show that they have there contingency planning done. And tis us clowns will have to do the hard yards so they can tick a box.

    122 million wiped off the ftse100. The largest historical drop of sterling v dollar. The brits might have allot of short term pain. I don't think it'll be the doomsday scenario that some are predicting but it'll make things more awkward if nothing else. People don't like change as a rule.

    I wonder since the vote was so close is there any chance of a second referendum like we had with Lisbon?

    No, but the delay to October of invoking article 50 is a very pragmatic step which would allow room for a Norway/ Swiss option or some sort of modified offer from the EU should any of those materialise.

    If it does drop I wouldn't limit yourself to buying a car on the day of the drop.
    I'd exchange euro for sterling when/if it does drop and even it goes back up the next day or change your mind about buying you could potentially have nice profit.

    Looks like the uk won't have to worry about a ban on round up now or nitrate regulations:P

    I imagine there will be negotiations and a more attractive deal offered to Britain so they can reconsider their position in a second vote.

    Seeing as Britain is our biggest trading partner by far, is it time for us to consider an Irexit?

    Wales voted out.. don't know why but they did.

    Scotland voted in, NI also but with less determination than expected.

    London likewise.

    The real divide here, and it's an interesting one, is between those in the metropolitan bubble and those outside it. I suspect that divide exists in more EU countries than people would care to admit, our own included.
