There are some market access advantages from the protocol, selling to Republic of Ireland plus rest EU, but it may still be the case that increased costs on the much greater volume of east-west trade (ie the £10bn of goods and raw materials brought in from Great Britain each year) will outweigh such north-south gains

Concern over supersize primaries...Embargoed to 0001 Wednesday August 27 File photo dated 03/12/2003 of primary school pupils during a lesson as many parents worry that their child's education would be damaged by a "supersize" primary school, a new poll suggests. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Wednesday August 27, 2014. It reveals that mothers and fathers are concerned about the impact of large class sizes, with concerns raised about a lack of equipment for pupils, classroom discipline and children not getting enough attention. The findings come amid a continuing squeeze on school places, particularly for primary-age children, that has been fuelled in part by a rising birth rate. See PA story EDUCATION Primaries.
