Ports Development: Discussion
Mr. Eoin McGettigan:
The Port of Cork had very little trade with the UK. Brexit presented an opportunity because some of the product that was coming into the State via the UK started to come directly into Cork because it is the closest port to continental Europe on the island. It has been an advantage for us. We opened routes to continental Europe that we did not have before. It has not been earth shattering. We have added approximately 10% of our volume directly from the Continent that was not there before.
