The Irish Times: The no-deal scenarios

19 October 2017

The Irish Times collects a number of worst-case scenarios from different sectors and organisations, think tanks, banks and insurance companies regarding a no-deal Brexit outcome.

The predictions concern business as well as daily life and include for instance Ryanair warning that there could be months during which there would be no flights between the UK and Europe. Meanwhile, the British Retail Consortium expects tariffs of up to 22% and supermarkets are worried about fresh food rotting at border crossings. Pharmaceutical companies say that some medicines could take years to make, test and approve. In many sectors, there is also an overall worry regarding the lack of labour force. The British Hospitality Association warns of a staffing crisis, with more than 1 in 3 housekeepers and 3 in 4 waiters being EU migrants.
