Anglo‐Irish free trade agreement. Concluded in 1965, this provided for a phased dismantling of the tariff barriers which had existed between Britain and Ireland since the 1930s (see
protectionism). Free trade was to be achieved by 1975. The agreement reflected the continuing ties between the two economies and a joint interest in joining the European Economic Community (see
european union). Despite the agreement, the proportion of Irish exports destined for the British market fell sharply from 75 per cent in 1960 to 43 per cent by 1980, though Britain continued to provide approximately one‐half of Irish imports throughout this period.
