		</div><p>David Cameron has warned voters in Northern Ireland of the potential economic impact of Brexit as he continues a tour of the UK setting out the case for staying in the European Union.</p>
<p>The PM said the country&#8217;s economy and farming industry were too closely linked to the EU to risk the &#8220;leap in the dark&#8221; of voting to quit the 28-nation bloc.</p>
<p>Northern Ireland&#8217;s political parties are split on the issue, with the Democratic Unionists backing &#8220;leave&#8221; and Sinn Fein, the SDLP and the cross-community Alliance Party in favour of &#8220;remain&#8221;.</p>
<p>A declaration is expected next week from the Ulster Unionists.</p>
<p>Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers is one of five cabinet ministers who have broken ranks to campaign for the UK to end ties with Brussels.</p>
<p>Speaking ahead of the latest leg of his tour, Mr Cameron said: &#8220;I&#8217;m clear that the people of Northern Ireland, and the whole UK, are better off in a reformed European Union.</p>
<p>&#8220;More than 60% of Northern Ireland&#8217;s exports go to the EU, and around 40% of its investment comes from the EU. Putting that at risk is a leap in the dark.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s vital that the voices of Northern Ireland&#8217;s farmers are heard in this debate.</p>
<p>&#8220;They want security and certainty. I&#8217;ve never argued the EU is perfect, but I believe a reformed Europe gives them access to a huge single market and an income that helps them keep food prices low for families.</p>
<p>&#8220;Those who want the UK to leave the EU need to give answers on their alternatives.&#8221;<br />
Treasury figures put the number of jobs in Northern Ireland linked to EU trade at 50,000 in Northern Ireland, with exports up over 50% in real terms since 1998.</p>
<p>Mr Cameron toured the Bushmills distillery in Co Antrim, where he was shown how barrels are sealed.</p>
