Irish Road Haulage Association has warned trade will be "severely upset" because of Brexit and the price of some goods could double in price.

President of the Irish Road Haulage Association Eugene Drennan said there could be a delay in delivering some goods and scarcity of products, which would not be acceptable.

He told RTÉ's Morning Ireland that any hiccup with the landbridge through Britain could create havoc, resulting in thousands of trucks "stacking" on the M20 motorway before Dover (in Kent and the major ferryport).

Mr Drennan most Irish imports and exports to continental Europe still use this landbridge but this will have to change if there is chaos in the UK.

He called for a daily, fast, efficient service into northern France ports.
