Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union
Customs Checks and Trade Flows in and out of Irish Ports: Discussion
Ms Hazel Sheridan:
I will come in both those points. We really do not have anything to add because it has been adequately covered by our colleagues from the HSE and Revenue. Similar to our colleagues in Revenue and the HSE, we cannot see a requirement for legislative change. We are operating under EU legislation and have very little discretion in that regard because those regulations must be implemented in the member states.
The infrastructure has already been described well. There is substantial infrastructure at Dublin Port. Further developments are under way and there is plenty of capacity within that infrastructure as things stand. As Mr. Harrahill has said, there is a longer term plan for Rosslare and we are all working together in developing that plan.
