New ferry links in Rosslare and Cork could address Brexit weaknesses - Howlin

New direct ferry links to the EU are essential according to the Labour TD

The Wexford TD said Rosslare Europort is the obvious choice to locate and support new services.

New direct ferry links in Rosslare and Cork should be considered to address "strategic weaknesses" for the country in light of a no-deal Brexit, Labour’s Brendan Howlin said.

The party’s Brexit spokesperson said new direct ferry links to continental Europe should be put in place given the likelihood of travel chaos in the UK, and given State support through the Connectivity Fund.
