Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union
Impact of Brexit on Business Sector
Mr. Neil McDonnell:
As the managing director of a company with freight on the road, Mr. Roche is in a position to answer that question. As a default position, if we get the administration right, we should not need to build out significant physical infrastructure. That would be our priority. As regards what will be required, I know there are proposals on the table from Northern Ireland regarding how we will handle the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine requirements. If they could be achieved, we might obviate the need for building out infrastructure that might be redundant in the future. As I said, Mr. Roche will be better able to answer on the physical infrastructure question.
