An Taoiseach Micheál Martin has finally met with the management and staff at Rosslare Europort yesterday (Friday).

While an earlier planned visit had been scuppered by Covid-19, the Taoiseach was keen to see for himself the surge in activity at the ferry port in the wake of Brexit and speak to General Manager Glenn Carr about plans for the future.

"There is already a plan here for a €42m investment over the next five years which has been submitted by the port authority and which will be supported,” Mr Martin said. “Already there’s been substantial investment in Rosslare Port, this Customs facility here in Kilrane in particular.”

While Brexit threatened to cause chaos for companies around Ireland, the Taoiseach conceded that it had in actual fact been of benefit to the growth of Rosslare.
