Ibec warns however that the North has 'still to realise the full potential' of the peace dividend with 'much to be done' to deliver prosperity post-Brexit

In a report published by Ibec today examining the economic and social benefits of the landmark peace deal as it approaches its 25th anniversary, they say there is “more to do” to tackle the migration issue:

Investment in high-tech technology jobs is singled out, with the sector growing “as fast as London and far outpacing other UK regions and Europe as a whole”. The removal of the border also had a “positive and significant impact” on trade volumes - between 1996 and 2000, cross-border trade in both directions soared by almost 60%. Post-Brexit, it has almost tripled to €9.5 billion.
