Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
Impact of Brexit on Ireland: Discussion
Verona Murphy (Wexford, Independent) | Oireachtas source
In conjunction with what is on the front of today's edition of the Wexford Peoplenewspaper, that was a flawed report. The matter has never been addressed and that is why we are behind the curve with Rosslare's infrastructure. Is that fair to say? Also, it must be recognised that the tachograph laws are a science in themselves and were never considered in terms of Brexit traffic flows although trade was considered but not how that trade is moved by road transporters, who are governed by tachograph. Drivers do not do overtime as there is a strict rule about driving time and that mainly is what dictates movements on shipping etc. but this was never considered as part of trade flows and that is where the real downfall occurred. Please address my questions and I am afraid I must leave.
