Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion

Mr. Kieran O'Callaghan:

Absolutely. That is in talking to the manufacturing companies. We do not want to make Ireland uncompetitive for foreign direct investment, FDI, if we have to take a 30% increase in our air freight rates to fly the goods and get them there on time. The other question is with regard to the other European countries of Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. With their transit time they are becoming more attractive for FDI. It goes back to protecting our FDI and where FDI came from.
