Taoiseach Says Ireland Can Avoid Supply Chain Chaos Seen Across UK

The Taoiseach says Ireland can avoid the supply chain chaos being seen across the UK.

Micheál Martin is confident measures can be put in place to encourage a steady stream of HGV drivers.

The Taoiseach also says Ireland had prepared for Brexit better than the UK:

“The preparations that Ireland put in in advance of Brexit have worked. Okay. And it was done against a fairly tight timeline. Now, there are wider issues more than just Brexit afoot within the UK. I’m not so sure the same preparations have occurred in the United Kingdom. I think the migration issue within the UK. The decisions to, for example, create if you like obstacles and barriers to people coming from Europe to work in the UK is a factor across the board. We don’t have that here.”
