Overwhelming majority of businesses believe a Yes vote is vital for exports

Posted at 11:10 pm by Owen Rooney

Following on from the economists, employers' body IBEC has released the results of a survey of 500 employers around Ireland (link here), which shows almost complete agreement amongst firms that a Yes vote is an important step towards economic recovery. Of those surveyed, 86% said that a Yes vote would be "important/very important for Irish companies exporting into the EU", a figure that rises to 89% amongst companies that currently export.

Given that almost 65% of Ireland's exports are within the EU, this is as clear a message as possible that if we want an export-led recovery to our current economic woes, then a Yes vote on the 2nd of October would be a crucial step towards that.
