Impact of Brexit on Ireland: Discussion
Mr. Eugene Drennan:
Yes, we have. I have written to the president of Normandy and the French ambassador on this. On the Cherbourg-Rosslare route and the direct ferries to the Normandy ports, we need extension of the northern corridor along from Calais, which is called Corridor de Ghyvelde. When we go to Calais on the old land bridge route, we can travel into the Benelux countries - the low countries - and on into Germany every day at any time. It is a concession road from many of the rules. We need that to extend to the ports where the direct ferries from Ireland arrive. I have said this many times and I met these people when they came here-----
