Irish consumer sentiment slumps further as Brexit rumbles on

Irish consumer sentiment fell for a fourth successive month for the first time since late 2012 as uncertainty over neighbouring Britain's departure from the European Union continued to weigh on confidence, a survey showed on Tuesday. While Ireland's economy has remained the fastest growing in the EU throughout three tortuous years of Brexit negotiations, consumer confidence took a hit in recent months as the prospects of a no-deal British exit rose. The most recent survey ran from Oct. 10 to 18, a period that began with a meeting between the leaders of Ireland and Britain that paved the way for a deal that failed to progress through the British parliament before an election was called.
