IRISH EXPORTS TO Canada could double under a new trade agreement recently signed by the EU.
The European Movement Ireland is predicting that exports could grow by as much as €1.2 billion as a direct upshot of the deal.
The impact of the Canadian trade deal, along with another pact with the US which is in the works, was discussed at a seminar in Dublin this morning that was attended by Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Leo Varadkar.
Also at the meeting was the EU’s top civil servant, Catherine Day.
Paul Mahon, president of Canadian insurance powerhouse Great-West Lifeco, which bought Irish Life last year, predicted a boom in transatlantic trade spurred on by the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
“It is estimated that CETA could raise bilateral trade by 23 per cent of €26 billion. The benefist are expected to be €11.6 billion for Europe and €8.2 billion for Canada.”
Catherine Day said that “Ireland is well placed to take up and and benefit from these opportunities as economic recovery in the EU strengthens”.

When mine catches fire I just put it on a quick wash cycle….quenches it every time!
Mine too caught fire the other day…..I tried to warn her about lighting her farts on Fajita y Tequila night in the gaf!!
So a free “in home repair” is the new recall and replacement?
Never put on the dishwasher when you are going to bed
Why’s that, people with night rates do it because its cheaper.
The next generation of didhwashers are grid controlled and will turn them selves on in the middle of the night to avail of excess wind. And reduce the burden on the grid.
How many fires before it becomes a pattern?
Dishwasher! Not my department!!
A dishwasher lasting that long ?
Mines 13 years old. Survived many a child sittingvon open door!
Mine is ’04 so 9 years old and still working well, last washing machine lasted nearly 16years…
Any chance of posting model numbers affected?
Bosch are only doing something about this because of the threat of bad publicity and the pressure put on them by the Consumer Show programme on RTE TV. Bosch wouldn’t care less only for the coverage on the show and that it goes to show the importance of having a strong regulator / enforcer in such situations in order to protect consumers.
It will all come out in the wash
I never put on the dishwasher when I’m going to bed- it’s to heavy
Lol lol comment of the week
Always the pump
I put on my washing machine and my dish washer every night and thankfully my clothes are clean and my dishes too…It’s a myth about running them at night being dangerous but I bet most of yea would run them while yea are out at work/ Shopping/or gone for lunch I save a fortune using then on the night saver too
Yeah but your not in the house, it’s much much worse if it went on fire and you were asleep.
