If the land bridge through the UK is lost, there will potentially be customs at the ports going into Wales and then going out again when trying to get to Calais. The ferry going directly from Rosslare to France could become the only and certainly the main access route to mainland Europe. We have already seen a significant increase in ro-ro freight going through Rosslare Europort to the Continent in France. The trucking companies are getting ready for this but the Government does not seem to be getting ready for it. Rosslare Europort is silting up and is not getting the support it needs. We need to take action now. Rosslare Europort is critical, not for Wexford, but for mainland Ireland to get to mainland Europe and accessing the new markets that producers in Wexford and the rest Ireland are being told to get ready to access.
