- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Brexit on Haulage, Freight, the Ports and Ferry Companies: Discussion (16 Dec 2020)
Kieran O'Donnell: The ferry companies are not here today. On the general trend of what is in the legislation, what the Deputy proposes is perfectly acceptable. We are just over two weeks away from 1 January. We are 15 days away, to be precise. We are in countdown. First, with the Irish Road Haulage Association, I want to get down to nitty-gritty.

Kieran O'Donnell: What I want to know is that, come 1 January, with what is in place now, if I was to drive into Dublin Port or down to Rosslare Port, what would I see?

They might give us their view. Will it be chaos? Will it...
