I thank Ms Murphy for her opening statement. This is not the first time we have discussed this issue. Ms Murphy noted the work of Professor Morgenroth and the issue was also discussed with the Minister last week in a breakaway forum at the national economic dialogue.

Ms Murphy has highlighted the concerns of IRHA members about the impact of Brexit. What percentage of additional costs could a hard Brexit impose on the typical road haulage business? Does the IRHA have estimates for that?
