The Anglo-Irish Free Trade Agreement
In 1965, Ireland and the United Kingdom signed the Anglo-Irish Free Trade Agreement, marking the beginning of closer economic ties between the two nations. This agreement eliminated tariffs on certain goods and paved the way for Ireland's eventual entry into the European Economic Community (EEC).
The agreement was a significant step towards economic cooperation and integration, and it helped to stimulate economic growth in Ireland. It also marked a shift in Irish economic policy, from protectionism towards free trade.
