:02:12. > :02:16.ruled that the Bakers should have agreed to bake it and by doing so

:05:58. > :06:02.place and wait until he comes forward until he says this is a deal
:06:03. > :06:07.and then we can make the final determination. Given where we are
:06:08. > :06:11.today, it looks as if we will be on the coming out of Europe side. That
:06:12. > :06:17.view is not shared by the Sinn Fein Deputy First Minister. But they do
:06:18. > :06:22.agree that June is the wrong time for a referendum, claiming it is too
:06:23. > :06:27.close to assembly elections. We have co-signed a letter with the First
:06:28. > :06:32.Minister of Scotland and Wales, to David Cameron, outlining the
:06:33. > :06:39.objection to the referendum being held in June. That effectively
:06:40. > :06:43.collates with the running of assembly elections here and the
:06:44. > :06:49.Scottish and Welsh elections. From our perspective, there is the issue
:06:50. > :06:58.of the timing of the referendum, and we are totally opposed, from Sinn
:06:59. > :07:01.Fein's perspective, we are opposed to any withdrawal from Europe. The
:07:02. > :07:07.timing of the referendum is something else. On the 6th of May,
:07:08. > :07:12.people in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, take part in devolved
:07:13. > :07:19.elections. Mr Cameron is believed to favour the 23rd of June and he is
:07:20. > :07:24.not for turning. I respect the electorates of Scotland, Wales and
:07:25. > :07:29.Northern Ireland. On the basis that people are capable of making up
:07:30. > :07:34.their mind in a Scottish election, Welsh election, and then making up
:07:35. > :07:40.their mind all over again on the vital question of the EU. It seems
:07:41. > :07:44.June is the likely referendum date. David Cameron has promised to visit
:07:45. > :07:55.Northern Ireland beforehand to make the case for Britain remaining in
:07:56. > :08:01.the EU. A leading academic said the UK exit from the EU would not have
:08:02. > :08:04.much effect on the economy. The Economist, a former adviser to David
:08:05. > :08:11.Trimble, gave evidence to a Westminster committee. He is saying
:08:12. > :08:22.that the Brexit debate is nothing to get excited about. Graham Gudgin
:08:23. > :08:26.says the numbers are not exciting, some studies saying it would cause
:08:27. > :08:30.the economy to grow a little bit and some saying it would shrink a little
:08:31. > :08:34.bit. And if you look at Northern Ireland, he said the effect would be
:08:35. > :08:40.the same and if there was Brexit, we could cope. He picked up on comments
:08:41. > :08:44.made by Enda Kenny when talking about the potential downsides.
:08:45. > :08:47.Brexit will not have much effect on the Northern Ireland economy, it is
:08:48. > :08:54.hard to see it would have much effect on the peace process. I found
:08:55. > :09:00.Enda Kenny's comments on this rather scurrilous. Is there consensus? Not
:09:01. > :09:04.everybody shares his opinion and the Financial Times newspaper polled 100
:09:05. > :09:09.UK economists this year and the majority said if we were to leave
:09:10. > :09:14.the EU, it would have a negative impact on the UK economy. Another
:09:15. > :09:19.thing we kept coming back to in Westminster today was the idea of
:09:20. > :09:25.uncertainty. Nobody knows what the impact will be. One uncertainty is
:09:26. > :09:29.on farm subsidies. Another columnist, he said those subsidies
:09:30. > :09:34.would have to be replaced and the big question is, what would come in
:09:35. > :09:38.their place? It would be devastating for the Northern Ireland farming
:09:39. > :09:42.industry were it up to be replaced in some form. There are those who
:09:43. > :09:47.would argue there are changes needed to farm structures and sizes
:09:48. > :09:53.required in Northern Ireland, but the support is so significant that
:09:54. > :09:56.that transition if not replace would be hugely damaging to Northern
:09:57. > :10:02.Ireland. What other risks were flagged up? Lee Gibson looked at
:10:03. > :10:08.corporation tax. We know at the moment in Northern Ireland it will
:10:09. > :10:14.be cut from 2018. Lee Gibson said, companies might save, we like the
:10:15. > :10:19.corporation tax cut, but there is so much uncertainty around Brexit, what
:10:20. > :10:23.will Northern Ireland's trading relationships be like for the rest
:10:24. > :10:29.of the world? We might wait and not invest, which he said could blunt
:10:30. > :10:32.that tax cut. What we have to come back to uncertainty. Nobody knows
