    I can guarantee you that everything will increase massively. Even now our current prices are so much higher than prices in the UK so you end up buying half of the things from ebay or amazon as otherwise you're forced to pay 3 times the price compared to UK products. Most of our imports are from UK so 90% of the things will increase heavily in price after the outside EU tax. Just like buying from USA, you pay $100 on a $300 item just for taxes. UK leaving is going to crash Ireland. Should have joined the UK or colonized the world. I'm moving to the UK in a few months permanently and I'll laugh at you all when the UK doesn't babysit and support you anymore. You're gonna cry about how the evil overlord ain't protecting you anymore. Good luck, you'll definitely need it. This is what happens when you rely on someone else for life support

    That will be the least of your worries, you'll sing a different tune when you're paying 30% more for any goods coming from the uk which is a lot. Go around your house and see how many goods are manufactured in uk and distributed in Ireland, you'll be surprised.

    Yes living in the UK will just be wonderful after a no deal Brexit. You are correct that the prices of British goods will rise which will mean countries like Ireland will import far less.

    Ireland relies on UK. Think or Ireland as a child inside a woman's womb. UK is the mother and if she dies, so does the child.

    Just in time to pick up a few properties at the right price. In reality, if the UK becomes non competitive to export we will import from the Main Land.

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    Plenty of other EU countries we can import from. We're not obliged to help the UK.

    Britain will always survive, like it did through history. Ireland now is a different story, economic crash after economic crash. Always massively up and massively down. There is not balance whatsoever. A housing crisis in a country with extremely low population and population density.

    Looks like you’re already preparing for this by asking for other people’s scraps!

    So, I was eating at a restaurant and have seen a group of people beside me leave their plates half full. I was still hungry after eating my food and I was wondering if it's normal or if someone else has asked for their food to be put in a take away bag and brought home. Would save me some coin if I could take the untouched part of the food which otherwise would be thrown away and wasted.

    For something yes but for most it’s the same price or more expensive. Especially when you need to pay for shipping. Plus it takes longer to deliver.

    Now now, I'm sure he has in depth research and expert analysis to back up all his claims & figures.
    He might revise it slightly when he realises Amazon from Germany, France or even Italy offer better value than the UK.

    So you reckon moving to the UK where NOBODY has a clue what's ahead of them post Brexit is the way to go?
