    Northern Ireland Exports Rise

    BBC report talking of a rise of nearly 10 Percent - which is good news and a Vindication of the policies of Arlene Foster and the DUP.

    BBC News - Northern Ireland exports up almost 10% on last year
    "We hold that no power, not even the British Parliament, has the right to deprive us of our heritage of British citizenship".

    I didn't know this:

    The largest single export market is still the Republic of Ireland. It was worth £2.1bn, which is 37% of the total export market.
    I would've thought continental Europe would have been the key market for NI, there you go. I know from Irish friends still there that the export and multinational-related industries are booming, despite the collpase in the housing and building industry. I suppose this has a knock-on effect up North?

    If you guys can get that fixed (I think the problem is seriously affecting Northern Ireland as well due to NAMA etc.), things are looking much better than is the case for the likes of Spain (22.5 per cent unemployment at the last count).

    NI needs to concentrate more on non-Eurozone countries. We rely too heavily on exporting to the Irish Republic. NAMA does indeed cause problems and NAMA is due to fail pretty soon from what I can make out. The Irish Republic is doing well with FDI companies in place and NI needs to attract more and rebalance away from public sector dependency. I'm not sure what impact NAMA failure will have on the south (FDIs will keep going but what of the rest of the place?) but we shouldn't be so reliant on them for exports and exposed to their risk too. Whether you are a unionist or nationalist this is a priority for NI and should be supported by all.

    Just think how much better things could be if SF and the rest of the green brigade used more of their energy and abilities to try and improve NI rather than destroy it.

    Seven posts in on your own thread about the economy for whatabout Sinn Fein. That's gotta be some sort of record.
