Dublin Port plays down Brexit amid new boom

Dublin Port said it is taking on so much business that it will need to expand, setting aside fears that Brexit would severely disrupt its trade.

“We think the effect of Brexit on Dublin Port’s business will be much, much smaller than the impact of the recession post-2007, and we think we will double our 2010 volumes by 2032,” Eamonn O’Reilly, chief executive at Dublin Port, told the Irish Examiner.

“Our challenge now is how best to create additional port capacity in sufficient time to stay ahead of this growth,” he said.
