570. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment whether there has been any increase in trade entering Irish ports from Britain and destined for Northern Ireland, and visa versa, since the signing of the Windsor Framework; if so, the amount it has increased by; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38187/23]
View answerThe Windsor Framework is a post-Brexit legal agreement between the European Union and the United Kingdom which was announced on 27 February 2023 and formally adopted by both parties on 24 March 2023.
My Department does not have any role in collecting data in relation to the quantity or value of goods entering Irish ports.
The Central Statistics Office compiles statistical data in relation to port traffic and this is measured by tonnage. The latest figures available on the CSO website with respect to port traffic relate to Quarter 1 of 2023.
Customs valuation is the determination of the economic value of goods declared for importation and the Revenue Commissioners may collect such information on a port by port basis.
