Anglo-Irish Free Trade Agreement

	Anglo-Irish Free Trade Agreement The Anglo-Irish Trade Agreement was signed on 25 April 1938 by Ireland and the United Kingdom. It aimed to resolve the Anglo-Irish Trade War which had been on-going from 1933. Scope The prime minister Neville Chamberlain summarised the 4 possible areas for discussion in a debate on the Eire Bill held on 5 May 1938: "The first was the question of partition; the second, of defence; the third, finance; and the fourth, trade." Partition was considered by him to be a matter to be resolved between Ireland and Northern Ireland. Chamberlain summed up that: "''In spite of all the controversies of the past and all the heat that has been generated, this country and Eire cannot do without one another. Our natural interests and our geographical position inevitably tend to bring us together, and what has kept us apart has been, not a divergence of interests, but something which ought to be far less important, and that is a difference of opinion.''" Terms of the Agreement The treaty abolishe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Ireland–United Kingdom Relations Ireland–United Kingdom relations are the international relations between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. British rule in Ireland dates back to the Anglo-Norman invasion on behalf of the English king in the 12th century. Most of Ireland gained independence from the United Kingdom following the Anglo-Irish War in the early 20th century. Historically, relations between the two states have been influenced heavily by issues arising from the partition of Ireland and the terms of Ireland's secession, its constitutional relationship with and obligations to the UK after independence, and the outbreak of political violence in Northern Ireland. Additionally, the high level of trade between the two states, their proximate geographic location, their common status as islands in the European Union until Britain's departure, common language and close cultural and personal links mean political developments in both states often closely fo ...

picture info	Trade In The Republic Of Ireland Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. Traders generally negotiate through a medium of credit or exchange, such as money. Though some economists characterize barter (i.e. trading things without the use of money) as an early form of trade, money was invented before written history began. Consequently, any story of how money first developed is mostly based on conjecture and logical inference. Letters of credit, paper money, and non-physical money have greatly simplified and promoted trade as buying can be separated from selling, or earning. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labor, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrat ...
