How Cork to Belfast free trade zones could make the fightback against Brexit

In a bid to offset some of the loss of competitiveness by British industry after Brexit.

Much has been made by British prime minister Boris Johnson of the opportunities at hand by creating up to 10 so-called free trade zones or low tax ports and airports across the UK, to offset some of the loss of competitiveness by British industry after Brexit.

The idea has been widely welcomed by a number of regional ports, particularly at unemployment blackspots of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Tees ports, and the port of Milford Haven in Wales.
