Verona Murphy: Govt should insist Cherbourg improve security to stop illegal immigration

Independent candidate for Wexford Verona Murphy has said that the Irish government should be insisting that if the French port of Cherbourg is to have a shipping route with Rosslare than security will have to be improved.

Ms Murphy, who is also President of the Irish Road Haulage Association (IRHA), told RTÉ Radio’s Today with Séan O’Rourke show that the port of Calais has provided €19m worth of fencing within the port, but that this has still not addressed the issue of illegal migration.
