Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Brexit Preparations Update: Discussion
Mr. Jim Breslin:
The risk arising has to be rated. If we have eight to ten weeks of stock, it is important that the industry not wait until the final week to replenish it but instead do so on an ongoing basis. We have discussed this with the industry. Even where there are delays of a number of days – for example, on the route between Dover and Calais – we would still get product through over the period of eight to ten weeks. The important point is that everybody work to the worst-case scenario, anticipate any issues that arise and replenish as they go rather than wait until a problem arises.
