The potential for the Brexit debate to immediately impact economic livelihoods was evidenced with the sharp decline in the value of the pound against the euro after the latest twist in the tale.
The currency nosedived to one pound sterling equalling €1.08.
That’s quite enough to put the collywobbles on Irish mushroom producers exporting to the UK when one euro is at 92p, well over the worrying threshold.
We can surely expect more turmoil on the currency markets before this particular phase of trade negotiations is complete.
The currency levels are also a good indicator of sentiment on the markets as to whether or not we’re in for a no deal exit.
