Reacting to the announcement that the issue of cross-border traffic between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic has been resolved, Road Haulage Association chief executive Richard Burnett said: “We hope that the successful outcome of these particular border issues can be reflected in negotiations over cross-border traffic between other EU member states. However, our big concern is that we can strike a deal for free-flowing lorry traffic across the Channel.”
The RHA also welcomes the statement made by the Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar: “We do not want to see a border in the Irish Sea.” It was guaranteed on Friday by the Prime Minister Theresa May that there would be no hard border in Ireland. This formed part of the deal to ensure the smoothest deal possible and hopefully bodes well for a cross-channel trade.
