Brexit ‘like a truck rumbling in the distance’

Brexit is a bit like an articulated lorry coming over the brow of the hill — we can hear the rumble, the ground is shaking, we know it is going to be big… but we cannot see how it looks or what load it is carrying.

That’s how the European Agriculture and Rural Development Commissioner Phil Hogan described the current position when he addressed an Irish Hauliers-organised Brexit event in Rosslare, Co Wexford.
