Massive price increases after brexit

Mrhuth

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

Nobody can guarantee shyt about Brexit as nobody has any clue about an of it from what I can see.

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.

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?

Naw. We can import from anywhere. On the other hand the U.K. depends on the EU for its trade.

Irish exports of food might be an issue but that’s it really. Even the the British have gotta eat.

Grab All Association

Companies are already preparing for it. I’m seeing a hell of a lot of Spanish, German branded products like Heinz ketchup, Herbal Essences Shampoo, P&G products etc on the shelves.

Most of these products are already cheaper to import and sell than their British counterparts. €1 for a bottle of Heinz ketchup you can’t go wrong with that can you?

Companies like HBC-Coca Cola will be forced to move production back to the republic or face obliteration. Kerry foods will have to bring cheese production and packaging back to the south.

Some areas of the economy will be affected but others will thrive. If the eggs are cracked make omelettes. Ireland won’t suffer as much as your beloved England will.

Overhead this on the Limerick to Thurles train that Jaguar Landrover are apparently looking for a large premises here. They already created jobs in r&d in Shannon. R&D tends to not operate out of large premises.

The cost of stuff might go up but if you think you're going to avoid that by moving to the UK then you're mistaken. I think you knew that already though but you do like making the drama queen type of posts.

If prices do go up due to currency fluctuations and/or tariffs between U.K. and Ireland/EU, this will have the same affect on these markets as anywhere else in the world. The buyer looks for cheaper suppliers, the seller will have to lower unit prices in order to remain competitive.

Op, I suspect you think that an item that costs €3 now will cost €4 next year. It possibly could, but what is more likely is that the seller will have to reduce the €3 price in order to remain competitive. An example of this is the tariffs imposed on the US is response to Trumps policies. Soya bean growers/farmers in the US are suffering because they are having to lower their prices to sell into China, one of their biggest markets because of the tariffs imposed. If they don't, the Chinese will not buy. The same will happen here.

What I don't think you comprehend is that the biggest impact on Ireland is the reverse of your process, Irish exporters may have to significantly reduce prices to sell into the U.K. This process will also apply to your beloved UK where both importers and exporters are very worried about the impact of Brexit. If you are moving to the UK to work in finance, construction or manufacturing, I wouldn't be too confident of a better standard of living. Also, by the way, economists forecast a significant decrease in readily available produce and increased costs in the U.K. due to a slow down in importation mechanism after Brexit.

Right now, nobody knows what will happen, so you might have a lorry load of egg on your face in a few months, or you could be absolutely correct.

Every supplier of goods that I deal with have plans in place of needed to locate a distribution centre in mainland Europe, most will be going to Holland.

Unfortunately a recent survey that was discussed on The Last Word showed that a very small number of Irish businesses had plans in place for Brexit. Most are adopting a "wait and see" mentality, which is worrying.

Hopefully a deal will come about. Recently there's talk of a second referendum for the UK but I must admit it's a bit too late for that. That should have been done before they enacted article 50. I don't see a second referendum going down too well over there either.

We do rely a lot on the UK for many products. For example,

Ford is a UK car manufacturer and its popular here in Ireland. So without a deal, Ford cars and Ford car parts will become more expensive. Shopping local or shopping online from further afield isn't going to help here.

Thankfully Ireland is big with pharmaceutical companies however there would be medicines and other medical supplies we don't work on and come from abroad. When my pet was on medication, the medication came from the UK. So after brexit and without a deal, human and veterinary medicines will be hammered.

Other household supplies. One thing I can think of are the plugs. Ireland and the UK has different sockets and plugs to mainland Europe. If you look at many plugs there's a British standard stamp on them. After brexit and without a deal, sockets and plugs will become more expensive due to taxes etc.

Things will get off to a bumpy start for the UK and for Europe but they'll settle down after a while. A no deal Brexit is going to be a shock for Europe also. The RoI is going to suffer just as much as anyone, given the close ties between the two countries.

How many things are made in the UK that we actually buy? TV's? Smartphones? Clothes? Wine? Spirits? Im guessing no to all of these

Won't these things become more expensive for UK once they leave? This may affect us with the UK being a land bridge for us, and for us buying from UK companies selling into Ireland
