Ferry Truckers Bypassing Holyhead-Dublin Route A Sign of 'Brexit Success' Says Boris Johnson
The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson told how (ferry) truckers bypassing north Wales is a sign of Brexit success.
Speaking (yesterday) at a Liaison Committee with senior MP’s, Mr Johnson was asked about the Brexit related delays at the border.
The PM said that trade between Northern Ireland and Great Britain is flowing so smoothly that many exporters are opting to use the new route and bypassing North Wales in the process.
The landbridge traffic - where Ireland to EU traffic crosses the UK - makes up around 30% of Holyhead's trade.
Mr Johnson was questioned by Labour MP, Darren Jones about the Brexit related delays at the border resulting in food shortages and increased prices.
In response, the PM said: “The situation in Northern Ireland is that trade is flowing smoothly as I understand it and exporters are benefiting from the unfettered access between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
