The CEO of the company that operates Irish Ferries has said that exporters will continue to use the ‘faster, cheaper’ UK landbridge between Ireland and mainland Europe despite Brexit.

As Extra.ie reports, goods going between EU countries and Britain now require additional paperwork and customs checks since the UK left the EU on December 31.

Irish Continental Group (ICG) CEO Eamon Rothwell has predicted that businesses will continue to send their goods by road via Britain despite the extra red tape though.

Speaking to the Irish Times, Mr Rothwell argued that the route is cheaper, faster, more frequent and less prone to cancellations than direct services between Irish ports and mainland Europe.
