​My Department in liaison with the Irish Maritime Development Office is commencing a study/research into the use of the UK Land-bridge by Irish importers and exporters.  The purpose of the research is to establish the nature and scale of traffic using the UK Land-bridge currently, the potential consequences that Brexit will have on future land-bridge usage and the various alternative options that may be viable. I expect the Study to commence shortly.
