The Government will need to scramble and run emergency trials for trucks entering Dublin, Rosslare, and Cork ports, as the risks of a crash-out Brexit ratchet up, the head of a major Irish hauliers group has warned. 

Aidan Flynn, general manager at Freight Transport Association of Ireland, said the real-time exercises will be required to test plans for access to Irish ports to prepare for Brexit disruption.
