This morning.
Trucks entering Ireland through Dublin Port as the future of trade, haulage and imports are under threat as last minute Brexit talks take place over the weekend.

Imagine being a little Englander today. Washing your caravan and drinking your warm can of Tennents. Hated by the Scots, the Irish and the Welsh. Humiliated by Europe, distanced by the US.
Led by a father of who knows and an alleged pedophile as a monarch. The Unionists in NI looking to the South for shelter. Being fed by a young footballer. Its a total mess, the end of Empire and karma being a bi+tch.
The Queen is an ” alleged pedophile ” ?
Stupid is getting a good workout on here this morning.
I really am getting bored of this stupid one-upmanship. If Britain crashes out that will have huge implications for Ireland- both north and south. Most of our haulage goes through there for a start.
From what I’m seeing the only implications from our end will be having to listen to them all whinging and cribbing about getting stuck in customs and passport checks
in either arrivals
or departures
and being charged duty on their Spanish fags on their way home from Magaluf
Or not being allowed keep their Spanish Diphene and Ventolin Inhalers
What implications does crashing out have for the border between the two parts of Ireland?
shur you can let us know in a few weeks
Indeed it does SOQ.
And a couple of extra ferries a day on the long steam round to the French coast are not going to make much of a dent in that traffic.
Sadly, and it pains me to say this, close co-operation between two old trading partners was thrown overboard as Juncker and the rest happily used Ireland as a pawn in their negotiations with the EU.
Varadkar being back-slapped by the burghers of Brussels is good for the optics and fuels the latent Anglophobic racism in Ireland but it doesn’t help the farmer faced with huge tariffs to export his beef.
We’ll see if Ireland’s EU ‘ friends ‘ will be visiting Dublin much in 2021 when the ordure is flying.
Now who’s playing transport logistics expert?
We average 417 trucks a day via the land bridge. The new direct service to Dunkirk can take 200 a day. That’s quite a dent and will be even bigger with more services yet to be announced.
The absolute state of you saying the EU used Ireland as a pawn. Ireland is the EU and the EU’s position is Ireland’s position. Meanwhile a UK government minister was talking about starving Ireland into submission.
+ the new deep water container Terminal in Ringaskiddy
You have the anxiety of a cornered rat Chargers. You’re used to being the bully, but you know Ireland bested you before and now we have the EU in our corner. Across the Atlantic, the US has declared for Ireland. Who have you left?
AzerbaijanAustraliaJust a heads-up.
#euhaveourbacks is going to be a busy little hashtag over the next few weeks.
keeping in mind, of course, that you’ve been wrong about everything so far
i’ll be keeping an eye on #watchthebritseatthemselves. for the laugh, like.
Instead of scaremongering maybe everyone could just wait until UK/EU negotiators put their mickeys away and agree the deal that they are going to agree this weekend and/or extend the transition period. Either way it’ll be ok. The banks are not panicking which means that they’ve got the nod
I tend to agree. the quaint diplo-nonsense has already happened over the prawn cocktails and ferrero rocher, the damages are already known.
There’s no panic that I can see anyway. also if it were to be a complete head-on STG would already be @ 1:1
our world will continue to spin come Monday morning
+1 & +1
Exactly, we’ve been through a lot worse
Will be grand
Will Britain still run the Euromillions draws?
On this day
